  
Style
I produce a variety of artwork made from thread and fiber that fully take into account the
characteristics of the given space, the intended atmosphere, and the concept behind the project.
The techniques I employ include weaving, knotting, collage, polyester coating and the resulting
creative works are either two-or three-dimensional. The use of thin threads and three-dimensional
configuration - combination of fiber with metal or polyester coated material are characteristic of
my style. I seek to communicate with clients and designers to insure that all are in agreement and
satisfied with the harmony the final project creates.
