Having lived in Greenwich Village all of my adult life, my aesthetic vision was always deeply rooted in the urban geometry of my surroundings, whether at home or in my travels. I have always been particularly interested in the co-existence of past and present, especially in architecture and other man-made structures. Throughout the ages, the presence of the human hand upon the landscape has always expressed our eternal yearning for immortality, evidence that says “I was once here”. Much as Edward Hopper did in the 20th century, I synthesize and transform the“facts” of the material world to reflect my experience of a particular place, striving to illuminate beauty in unexpected places...a subway entrance, a doorway, a fire escape, a rooftop. While my original medium was paint, I discovered early on that textiles spoke to me in a way that paint never did, and the marriage of the ancient art of hand quilting with modern technology has resulted in the mixed media process that became my medium of choice.
