Artist Statement:
As the sands shift, I dream of civilizations past. I search for Sapphire skies, my blue heavens…..a celestial message of hope in these ever-changing, unpredictable times. Bold and daring. Fearless, yet harmonious. My identity is entwined with the cultural traditions and patterns made on cloth and handed down through the generations.
