I hope to remind people of the beauty of our everyday natural landscapes in a
unique, yet traditional fashion. The inspiration for all my pieces comes from local
photographs or what I have seen. Like the scenery around us, my works can seem
cluttered, confusing and ordinary if examined closely. Each individual thread,
clump of felt and stitch of embroidery is like a single tree, cloud or rock. They are
all important to the scene, but mean very little if viewed individually. However,
take a few steps back, and the colors and materials mix correctly to give life and
unity to my works and the environment. My background in Fabric Arts influenced
my decision to use fabrics and threads while my experiences in Computer
Graphics Design gave me a better eye for mixing colors, and inspired my
experimenting with mixed media. With each piece, I hope to capture the essence
of the scene and immerse the viewer as if we are standing there together.
Therefore, the medium and size of my works depend on the energy of the setting
I wish to share.
