Meet the Artist

Darling

I am an artist and former art teacher living in Takoma Park, Maryland. My current work is an exploration of color and how the colors combine on the surface. I get my inspiration both from the natural world and my subconscious brain while dreaming. I enjoy exploring texture, form, shape, and pattern using a variety of fibers once the paint has dried. Incorporating embroidery stitches and basic sewing techniques is a way for me to reflect and be intentional with my decisions in the artmaking process.

This video shows how I approach working with many pieces at once. I begin with one layer, let it dry and then add more. You’ll notice how I jump from one piece to another as I go.
