Bio:
I am a musician and Thai Massage practitioner, and an emerging artist. I've played the violin semi-professionally for 27 years and I teach privately. My first artistic love was language, shortly followed by music. As a musician, I've come to revere the way sound can communicate things for which there simply are no words. I feel the same quality in visual art. My pieces are created by drawing, sewing, and embroidering on cotton. I like the malleability of cloth. It can be folded into shapes, wadded up, and even laid flat, has its own flow. It is a material we have a personal relationship with through clothing and other everyday objects.
