About

 An integral part of my process is combing through antique stores, thrift shops, estate sales and ebay listings searching for pieces that begin to whisper their stories to me. I find myself drawn to items with markings and use from previous owners – writing on the back of a photograph, a worn quilt or stitches in handmade clothing. I am interested in excavating, amplifying, and embellishing the stories of these objects – to bear witness and learn from the matriarchs of the past.
