I come from a family of seamstresses, but I was a late bloomer!! I drifted to textile art, using primarily silk paints on silks, cotton voiles and silk rayon (so far).

Where I am from, good quality fabrics are hard to come by, so I have to rely on purchasing fabrics from the USA, Canada or Europe.

Currently, I belong to a Textile Cooperative, and this is a good avenue to get the fabrics I would like to work with. We are fairly new, so the going is a bit slow - I have patience!!

My head is always swimming with designs, even in my sleep. Sometimes I try to duplicate some of the painted designs I have done, and I still drift away from it!! I sew and paint pareos (wraps), cut them in two or three lengths to create mini pareos, scarves, etc., I also sew and paint mini caftans (square and round) to be used as beach cover-ups, skirts (long and short), and shorts.
