My two passions are the vibrancy I see in color and the beauty I hear in music. 
For me, color and music are instrinsically intertwined. 
Music is the expression of tone (the quality of pitch) over time and color is the expression of tone
(the contrast of hue) over space.
My art is the vehicle through which I express my joy in seeing and hearing nature's tones.
I dye-paint all of my pieces with Procion MX permanent dyes into (as opposed to on top of)
natural fibers, mostly silks and bamboo.  My process differs from painting on canvas in that...........
rather than starting with line, adding shape, and then color........
I start with color, then add shapes, and, finally, complete the piece with the lines of  my stitching".
