24.5" x 28" (62cm x 71cm) 

Pressure Point explores the moment where structured planes and curved pathways converge, suggesting tension held in balance. Subtle shifts in color and stitched lines map areas of compression and release, revealing how pressure can shape form without fracturing it.  

23" x 23" (58cm x 58cm) 

A Spatial Intrusion explores the moment when an ordered system is interrupted. Bold planes of color push into a quieter architectural field, while stitched lines suggest shifting structures and competing spatial logics.

40" x 40" (102cm x 102cm) 

Parallel Exchange, the first piece in the series Surface Conversations, explores the tension of alignment and separation. Parallel structures create a measured field of interaction - ordered, deliberate, and quietly dynamic.

27" x 29" (68cm x 73cm) 

Tempered Dialogue explores tension held within limits. Fragmented elements are carefully stitched into place, suggesting a conversation marked by restraint rather than rupture. where frustration is present but disciplined, and structure becomes the means of negotiation.

30" x 30" (72cm x 72cm) 

This work reflects the layered nature of conversation,how voices overlap, pause, and sometimes collide. Patterned fragments emerge like pieces of dialogue, while dark structures interrupt and contain them. 

24" x 28" (51cm x 71cm) 

This composition is built from painted and raw fabrics joined quietly—stitched only in the ditch—to preserve the smoothness and natural flow of the materials. There is no single focal point, only a steady rhythm and calm cohesion.

33" x 37" (84cm x 94cm)

This piece delves into the topography of life's journey, reflecting the delicate interplay between order and disruption. 

24" x 28" (51cm x 71cm)

This  work balances intuitive gestures with disciplined stitching, letting  color, texture, and line weave their own conversation. The controlled  geometry holds space for the wild energy within it, while the more organic passages soften the rigidity of the grid.

32" x 36" (70cm x 81cm) 

This work reflects the experience of being surrounded by constant movement and input, the pace of daily life, the pull of many directions at once. The black lines and patterns suggest that ongoing hum of activity, while the vertical bands of color offer a counterpoint. 

24" x 30" (60cm x 76cm) 

This work channels feeling as movement—color shifting, marks gathering and scattering, energy rising and dissolving. Saturated fields of magenta, violet, and chartreuse create a charged surface where circles drift, lines pulse, and textures collide.  

27.25" x 27.5" (69cm x 70cm) 

This work reflects the quiet architecture of community. Every small triangle, scrap, and stitched line suggests a person inhabiting their own space — shaped by memory, origin, and experience. Some rise forward, some recede, some hold the corners.  

24" x 30" (60cm x 76cm) 

This work channels feeling as movement, color shifting, marks gathering and scattering, energy rising and dissolving. Saturated fields of magenta, violet, and chartreuse create a charged surface where circles drift, lines pulse, and textures collide.

37" x 32" (93cm x 81cm) Unframed

A rhythm of structure and spontaneity plays across A Little Bit of Chaos, where an array of squares, rectangles, and fragmented lines intersect in unexpected harmony. This piece is a dynamic exploration of technique - stitched, pieced, layered - each element contributing to a sense of movement and tension. 

 37" X 38" (94cm X 96cm) Unframed

Circa 65 draws from the improvisational spirit of Gee’s Bend quilts, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Bold bands of color intersect and shift, creating a visual rhythm that feels both structured and intuitive. While rooted in the legacy of mid-century quilt-making.

34” x 29” Unframed (86cm X 73cm) 

RED REASSEMBLED is an exploration of disruption and flow. Hand-stitched fragments are reassembled into a shifting composition where boundaries blur and re-form. The saturated palette amplifies movement, while the underlying structure holds the tension between order and fragmentation.

Spirit Hymn features four distinct blocks of color bands. Some are wide and bold, asserting their presence, while others, equally bold, frame the piece, holding it together with a cohesive embrace. The free-form stitches that dance across the surface suggest gentle rain, a soft, rhythmic patter that evokes a sense of tranquility and reflection. 

35" x 35" (89cm x 89cm) Unframed

Circles gather and disperse across the surface, each one suggesting a center that is never quite stable. Through dense, hand-stitched marks, the work accumulates time and intention, while simultaneously dissolving fixed points of focus. What appears ordered is in constant motion—centers shift, relationships change, and perception recalibrates. 

 24" x 30" (61cm x 76cm) 

This piece was co-designed by myself and my 99-year-old father, an artist in his own right and the source of much of my creative lineage. In the layered stripes and hand-stitched pathways, the work reflects the ongoing exchange between generations.

24" x 29" (60cm x 75cm) 

This piece balances intuitive gestures with disciplined stitching, letting color, texture, and line weave their own conversation. The controlled geometry holds space for the wild energy within it, while the more organic passages soften the rigidity of the grid.
