Artist. Researcher. Storyteller of Threads.
The Fields series began as a way of making sense of difficult times.
Across these four works, fields become more than landscapes. They become emotional terrains: places where memory settles, grief takes root, hope survives, and the mind finds somewhere to rest.
Each work carries a different condition of being:
Fields of the Mind (featured top) finds solace within the landscapes of our own consciousness.
Fields of Promise speaks of legacy.
Fields of Memory (featured here) tells of inherited grief.
Fields of Hope preserves light in dark times.
Fields of the Mind (Slide 1), the last of the series, brings it inward: survival through self-healing.
Slowly, we begin to dissolve into these landscapes. To drift into them. To leave traces behind: thread embroidered through fabric, gold creviced in earth, paint dripping onto canvas; and through them, we are reborn.

The Institute for Creative Teaching hosted by UNCO and Think 360 Arts
Honored to have led a workshop at the University of Northern Colorado last June. We explored place, belonging, and memory through fiber arts.
Using thread, fabric, and personal stories, we wove maps of home, both real and imagined, into a collective tapestry that celebrated difference and connection. This was more than an art-making session; it was an invitation to reflect on how identity is stitched together across landscapes, borders, and generations. These shared moments of making remind me of the power art holds, not just to express, but to connect, question, and build.
