I love dyeing cloth!
The process puts me in the moment with unexpected surprise. Of any art form that I ever done; it’s the
most wondrous! Opening a glaze kiln is
the next closest experience but because you have so many steps to complete to
get to that point, it’s more drawn out.
Besides, I’ve had so many negative experiences with people associated
with doing clay that it’s spoiled my joy.
So, clay is on hold until I can get my kilns out of storage and hooked up
in my own studio.

I’m enjoying making color on fabric. One of my professors and mentor’s at UNC, Mr.
Marvin Saltzman, always said that I was a colorist – a painter’s painter. I finally understand what he meant. I’m drawn to art processes that are timeless
and connect me to humanity. Clay and
textiles both do that for me! They
represent my convergence; where all that I am and the hopes and dreams of
everyone who’s blood flows in my veins come together. I love this life! I’m happy, content and at peace with the
circumstances that have brought me to this moment in time. At times it’s been a difficult journey but
such is life!
