I explore the human perception of nature through weavings, natural dyes, soft sculptures, prints, and photographs that reference cultural histories in relationship to the natural landscape.
Concepts that illustrate experiences of vicarious resilience and positive thinking will always permeate my work, as it is at the heart of my activist practice as an art therapist.

The breathing, sensing body draws its sustenance and its very substance from the soils, plants, and elements that surround it; it continually contributes itself, in turn, to the air, to the composting earth, to the nourishment of insects and oak trees and squirrels, ceaselessly spreading out of itself as well as breathing the world into itself, so it is very difficult to discern, at any moment, precisely where this living body begins and where it ends. Abram, 1997, pp 46-47. The Spell of the Sensuous.
These leaves were collected from the Sugar Maple Tree as they fell to earth. The location was a walk along side Lake Chautauqua, New York.Sewn together. The fall floor landscape.
