Series #16:  PAINTED FABRICS      

This group of works combines painting and sewing techniques to create imagery.  Commercially produced fabrics are used in the construction of large, rectangular pieces which can be designed as double-sided and free-hanging, or single sided to be exhibited against a wall.  The fabric panels are lightweight and have been used as acoustical alteration.  Imagery has been designed from a variety of sources.
