Artist Statement

- The faded, but still vibrant colors of ancient mosaic tiles in Pompeii

-The landscape of lush grapevines, poppies and cypress trees in Tuscany and Provence

-Carved doors and murals on crumbling Florentine palaces

These are what have inspired my most recent collection of batik  silk wearables.

 

My process is to begin by designing the actual shape of each garment, with an eye towards that

which will flatter and move with the body. Preferring to work with sheer silks such as chiffon

and organza, I combine multiple dyebaths with a "painterly" method of batik to produce each

original piece. Sometimes my pieces  end up on the wall- in either event, on the body or the wall-

it pleases me that they are enjoyed.
