Bio

Growing up and living in Los Angeles I appreciate how the city weaves together a multitude of heritages & cultures. I try to capture this in my art, by piecing together Antique fabrics, photos, & findings that represent the wonderfully diverse communities of LA.
Antique textiles are my passion-through them I feel a strong connection with the quilters, weavers, & artisans of long ago, whose beautiful textiles I use in my artwork.
It gives me great pleasure to resurrect these pieces of the past –many of them labors of love-into the present.
