In journalism, to bury the lede is to hide the most important point beneath distracting details. Here, my signature motto is hidden in plain sight. Some letters emerge immediately; others dissolve into layers of marbled blue fabrics inviting the viewer to look longer.

For more than thirty years, my work has celebrated a simple idea: When it comes to fabric, more is more! I love the conversation that happens when many different fabrics share the same space. My challenge -- and my delight -- is to trust complexity and create harmony from disciplined abundance.

The bottom border was inspired by David Scanavino’s gouache and graphite studies about Italian Romanesque buildings.
