My creative process

Picture
I feel my creativity is inspired by my inherent sense of color and light, which are based on my life's experiences.

My fabric design methodologies

Picture
There are many ways I am able to create fabric designs.
*  crewelworking - adding rich texture and depth
*  dyeing - using color and pattern to be as subtle or extreme as needed
*  digitizing - bringing in images or patterns to add variety
*  embroidering - enhancing visual image through threadwork
*  quilting - deploying straight or curved piecing to provide interest
*  photo transferring - using photographic images to add dimension
