"One factor that has kept me interested with art making all these years would be my fascination with transforming materials with experimental processes. Creativity and innovation have been my driving forces. If there is a right way and a wrong way to do something, I probably won't be interested. I have been teaching Textile Design and Collage for 25 years and have found no better inspiration than working with students in a studio."
