When I first made the move to fiber art, I didn’t realize how much my artistic process would mirror my life in science.  Eventually I found that, at their core, the two are fundamentally similar.  Each requires some precision which ultimately is tempered by a healthy dose of trial-and-error experimentation and a good bit of creative problem solving.  Furthermore, one of the things that appealed to me as a scientist was the story, waiting to be told, behind each discovery.  The same holds true for me as a fiber artist:  there’s always a story, waiting to be told, behind the fabric and stitching.
