My latest interview was in the Al-Tiba9 Magazine. This journal is based in Barcelona, Spain. The interviewer created ten excellent questions and reading this interview will take you on a deeper dive into my textile background and my art process.

The interview also includes six recent images of my environmental, abstract art, that illustrate points that are covered. Featured in the article are: Fragmentation (2021), Redwing (2023), Accidentals (2023), Ropa Arco Iris (2023), Kimono 2 (2023), Breastplate (2023).
