For over 20 years, I have explored identity, voice, and the subconscious through color and repetitive mark-making. With roots in fine art, textiles, and costume, my work spans installation, photography, film, painting, scultpure and embroidery.

At the heart of my practice is The Red Dress - a global tapestry of stories that offers a space for vulnerable voices to be heard. This project, now an icon of contemporary world textiles, embodies my commitment to community and expression.

I continue to draw, paint, and stitch, drawing inspiration from ancient symbols and world embroidery traditions. My work, including The Red Dress, has been exhibited in galleries and major museums worldwide. I am honored to serve as an Ambassador for the Textile Society.
