"I work in 'fabric pictures,' or textile applique, which I create by cutting fabric shapes and sewing them to a fabric background. The swatches of material I buy at fabric stores, thrift shops and old fashioned five-and-dimes are my palette. The sewing machine is my drawing tool. I use it to scribble and color with tiny stitches. Many of my pieces are finished with hand-stitched embroidery techniques. All of my piecees are presented under glass, in hand-painted frames which are individually created for each piece.
I could name influences like Miro or Van Gogh, but in reality I think I've been most inspired by things closer to home - the drawings my son Noah did as a child, the playful and profound tradition of American folk art, and the laughter and wonder of simple every day joys: favorite pets, good wine, close family, great friends." -Chris Roberts-Antieau Represented at Commercial Street: 508.349.9451
