Biography

I earned my Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a concentration in ceramics, fibers, and art education.  I also hold a North Carolina teaching license for the visual arts and I am certified to teach Kindergarten through 12th grade. 

I credit my maternal grandmother, Florence Estelle Hoye, for showing me an unwavering passion and a desire to explore the visual arts.

Artist Statement

For me, textiles equal comfort.  From the moment of your birth, you are wrapped in a layer of soft, woven fibers.  This introduction to textiles leads us to a yearning for certain things -- a security blanket, a warm quilt to sleep under, your favorite shirt, or those wonderful fuzzy socks that you put on at the end of a long day.    

My current body of work combines traditional and modern quilting techniques, found objects, rust dyed fabrics, and discarded clothing that come together to represent what we as a society have left behind, forgotten, but will again discover through excavation.  This body of work will consist of large and small scale mixed-media quilted wall pieces, three-dimensional mixed-media sculptures, and altered books.  The pieces will reflect an interest in three types of materials: found objects that have been discarded, photographs (altered and raw), and various types of rust dyed materials.
