I work in a hybrid medium combining hand embroidery and hand-stitched beadwork with acrylic paint as a medium for making art. The act of hand-stitching thread and beads is a slow and repetitive process that affords the space for uninterrupted thought. The act of painting is spontaneous, in-the-moment, physical movement. Combining these two opposite states gives form to endless exploration into the mystery of being. I work intuitively, mining personal experiences, energy, movement, nature, and the occasional external interruptions of politics. I use this medium of minutiae as a practice for connecting with the vastness.
