I am an artist and designer currently working in Chicago. My clothing is inspired by my obsession for comfortable clothing to move in, through our many acts in life, the 80’s, the transformative properties of spandex and knits, the need for more bright colors and patterns in our visual landscape, art and fashion history, and the tradition of sewing fostered by my mother, grandmother, and all the women in my family.
*****************************
My art work reflects upon experience with the horrible and the foul that live laced between the sweet, warm, and loving moments. Tenuous are there boundaries.
Words are inadequate here; they can't be translated to my body. Flesh feels, thrusts, and reverberates, messages without words.
My work is the struggle to convey these feelings.

When I am not working in the studio or busy at my sewing table I enjoy spending time with my two children (my babe-kitties) Lady and Tara, eating tasty food, and moonlighting with my best buds, as karaoke diva’s at our favorite bars in Chicago and St. Louis, where my family resides.
