My newsest works are my organic abstracts. Each work is intricately designed and each piece cut out and stitched on individually. Texture is then added with threadwork.

I chose to approach this series from a non linear stance. Working in a medium whose traditions are founded in squares, rectangles and circles as a basis, I wanted to use shape in a new way.

Essence represents that which burns from within, our passions, desires, what lives in ones soul. My soul is red.
