I am
a process-oriented apparel designer. Fabric is my medium. I find transforming
a two-dimensional length of fabric into a three-dimensional garment to
be a rewarding process. It is a matter of taking an abstract idea and giving
it form. To do so, I work from a variety of sources. Floral and garden
themes, historical influences, an interest in hand stitchery and embellishment,
and fabrics themselves inspire me. Through my designs I seek to express
the various facets of my personality, but often my designs develop personalities
of their own.
