I have always been drawn to fibers, threads, yarns, and fabric. Starting with making pot holders when I was eight and progressing on to garment making, knitting and crocheting, embroidery, counted cross stitch, and basket weaving. It was not until I put my first piece of white fabric into the dye pot that I realized my passion is for color. Although I had been surrounding myself with color all my life through various fiber arts, I am only just beginning to realize my connection to color for its own sake. I relate so much to artist Anne Truitt’s words “I felt myself to be color.” The creating of my silk scarves and fiber art allows me to delve into the world of color, creating one of a kind pieces so others too, can enjoy this wonderful world of color!
