NEW HELVETICA

Acrylic, Paint Pen and Embroidery on Canvas

17 x 21 inches $800.00 each

This collection began with Helvetica-stenciled paintings—structured, deliberate, and grounded in design. Over time, the work evolved into machine embroidery, merging digital precision with the tradition of stitch. Explores the energy of Svadhisthana,  Sacral chakra, and Manipura Solar Plexus chakra, aligned with the elements of water, and fire. As an Australian immigrant shaped by the Asia Pacific and calling Appalachia home for over 20 years, I see this work as a meeting point—of systems, cultures, and energies. A quiet gesture toward unity: we are all one.

WATERCOLOR EMBROIDERIES

2025 Watercolor and embroidery on paper.

17 x 17 inches $250.00 each

At first glance, these works may seem simple, but creating them was anything but. Stitching into watercolor paper with an embroidery machine demanded enormous patience. Hooping the paper without tearing it was especially difficult, and more than once the process ended in failure. Yet each setback asked me to pause, breathe, and return—a rhythm not unlike meditation itself.

Over time, persistence carried me through. After many trials, the technique began to settle, and the images slowly took form. The result is a comprehensive set of four pieces—delicate yet resilient, fragile yet grounded. I also discovered that sometimes it is easier to work on a larger scale, where the materials seem to breathe with more freedom.

These embroideries became more than technical experiments. They are reminders that energy moves in cycles of resistance and release, and that wholeness often arrives through the willingness to begin again.

WITHIN REACH

Embroidery on felt with metal base.

10 x 2 x 2 inches $195.00 each

This series of small hand sculptures—embroidered on felt and mounted on metal bases—began with a spark of excitement. The very first experiments filled me with joy, and I knew I had discovered something worth pursuing. Once the process was formalized, it was only through the discipline of daily practice that I was able to bring all twelve sculptures into being.

What made this series especially meaningful was the collaboration with my husband, who designed and crafted the metal bases. These little stands gave the embroidered hands their presence and strength, transforming them into complete works. The process reminded me how much better everything becomes when shared—he makes every part of my life richer, even my art.

EXPANDED REACH

Acrylic on tissue paper and board with embroidery on tulle overlay 24 x 36 inches $850.00

Expanded Reach, the largest single work in this exhibition, carries a long and winding process history. It began with stitched tissue paper applied to board, a surface both fragile and strong. Onto this, I painted twelve circles to represent the expanded chakra system.

My original intention was something entirely different, but what finally emerged surprised me. That’s the exhilarating—and sometimes unsettling—part of making art. You can begin with a clear picture in your mind, but the real work is staying open, allowing creativity to move through you in unexpected ways.

This piece is a reminder that the process itself is alive. By letting go of control and trusting the flow, I was able to catch what wanted to come into being

WATERCOLOR RONDOS

2024 - 2025 Watercolor and embroidery on paper

9 x 9 inches $180.00 each

This series began in meditation. In stillness, images would appear—shapes of color and energy that felt both intimate and expansive. For a long time, I carried them quietly. Once I discovered how watercolor and embroidery could work together, the images poured out, one after another, until there were twelve.

Each rondo begins with watercolor, the first breath of energy. The thread follows, grounding the form, before paint returns to merge pigment and fiber into a living field. The circle mirrors the cycles I feel in meditation—expansion, contraction, and renewal.

These rondos map the expanded chakra system, not as rigid symbols, but as possibilities. They invite you to notice your own inner rhythms and remember that balance, like breath, is always within reach.

RISING CHAKRAS

Watercolor and embroidery on paper.

18 x 18 inches $360.00 each

The Rising Chakra collection brings together three chakras within each rondo, layered with the elemental energies that flow through them. Alongside these forms, wildflowers appear—each one carrying its own quiet power.

For me, wildflowers are not just beautiful; they are teachers. On my morning walks through the fields, I notice their energetic blooms—how they rise, how they bend, how they return season after season. They seem to call me to look closer, to listen, to learn.

In these works, chakras and wildflowers intertwine, offering maps of energy that are both inner and outer, human and earthly. Together, they remind us that vitality is always rising, rooted in the ground beneath us and blossoming into the world.

SPINNING CHAKRAS

2021 Embroidery on silk

10 x 10 inches on silk. $450.00 each

Within Hinduism's early traditions, seven-colored spheres within our bodies known as chakras control our energy. With unblocked chakras, the flow becomes unimpeded, leading to better health and vitality. Through the process of meditation, I have envisioned the embroidery series of "Spinning Chakras." The chakras flanked by Nadis (channels of energy) spin in different directions. Operating like magnetic pull Nadis, Ida and Pingala, ascend and descend in a spiral pattern causing the chakras' rotation while Sushumna travels up the center. The Nadis of Ida and Pingala, represented as two snakes, wind their way up to the crown chakra. This process is a kundalini awakening, considered a spiritual breakthrough. Interestingly, the representation of the chakra system is the basis for the medical symbol of the caduceus. This collection is collection is currently under production. Framed

THE BODY CHAKRAS

2022 Embroidery thread, on silk

18 x 30 inches $875.00 each

the Body Chakras have been three years in the making.

We are all integrated circuity where energy flows without the mind’s insistent dominance. Our culture can convince us of so many unconscious ways to be in the world. Ordering us to rush, achieve, be better, work harder, and compete for success. What if we just be? What if we step back and breathe? Life is an absolute wonder that is over way too fast. continues. The body has its reasoning. I am not reinforcing the tired old duality of the mind-body split but instead advocating the concept of integrated circuity where energy flows without thought's insistent dominance.
