FINE FELTMAKING
Wearable Art



ARTIST'S STATEMENT  In working with the soft and forgiving fibers of wool and silk in the elusive form of feltmaking, I have found a medium in which I can express my deep reverence for the Divine.  My daily practice involves wandering and meditating amidst  the woods and meadows that surround my studio in Vermont.  It is from this communion with the natural world that I reconnect with my source, Mother Nature - her texture, her color, her scent.  The moss-covered rocks, the fallen leaves, the wild rose, the light in autumn, the winter sky, - all of these work their way into my art.  This beautiful, ever-changing cloth of Mother Nature becomes the clothing I create and share.  I am not the creator.  It is she.

Wool is alive with the energy of the animals that give it.  It is this life that inspires me.
