Liberty Worth

Artist Statement

Textiles have the ability to hold moments and stories. My work uses fabrics to reach through memory to find harmony and healing. Collecting textiles and piecing scraps together, I use improvisational sewing techniques to create compositions that emerges from the trees, mountains, and coastal inspirations of my sketchbook into textile based paintings.

Color is a tool to be played with, grounded in memories of exploration and adventure. My work leans towards bright, harmonious color directions that expand from visual memories - places like the inside of an anemone, patterns on a shell or shades of green in a forest.

Living in coastal California, I know the way nature can heal broken places in our hearts. Nature demonstrates how brokenness can be present, but also beautiful - my art is a practice of gathering and mending broken pieces and textile waste into new, fragmented-yet-whole stories - a hope for what healing is possible with time.
