Why Fiber Art Explorations
I have been attracted to working with fibers for years and years, but I have a hard time thinking of myself as an artist. I think because I am a scientist by training. I recently started trying to find ways to push myself out of the comfort zone on this subject- I spent decades following "rules" and now I want to make up my own!
