I’ve been weaving off and on since I was twelve. In 2004, I decided to turn my hobby into my profession and earned my MFA from Kent State University.

Weaving is a subtle three-dimensional process in which threads pass over and under each other to create patterns and images. Sometimes, this process is a bit too subtle. By using a combination of digitally assisted looms and traditional hand-weaving processes, I’ve been exploring both the illusion of texture and also creating pieces that are more obviously three-dimensional.
My work varies from landscape inspired pieces to complete abstractions, but all take advantage of contemporary technologies in order to push the process of weaving into new directions.
