Pleated Tales is a series of circular folded works, drawing on the meditative symmetry of mandalas, the elegance and drama of handmade fans, the unfolding narratives of concertina books, and the richness of ornamentation across cultures. The circle itself carries deep symbolism—suggesting wholeness, continuity, and the cyclical nature of time—inviting the viewer into a space of reflection and renewal.
As with much of my work, these pieces are deeply inspired by both the natural world and objects shaped by the human hand: shifting colors, lush textures, unexpected harmonies, and the quiet perfection found in imperfection. The imagery originates from my own practice in painting, photography, cyanotype, eco-printing, and collage, coming together in singular, one-of-a-kind pieces that invite both contemplation and wonder.

This piece is framed in a black wood 20"x20" shadowbox. There are many Pleated Tale pieces available in a 30'x30" size - please inquire.

Wescover creator since 2025
Multi media artist exploring material and techniques

I am a Connecticut-based multimedia artist with over 30 years of experience creating one-of-a-kind works for homes, commercial spaces, and design-driven environments. I work in a range of modalities including fiber art, collage, sculpture, photography, printing, and book art – often combining multiple media in a single piece. Over the course of my career, I have been an avid explorer of both material and technique, reimaging definitions of art and beauty. My art has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the country, including numerous solo shows, I’ve been honored with multiple awards and been featured in national publications and books. My work reflects a fascination with texture, pattern, color, organic shapes and sculptural forms. Moments of vulnerability and transition, the majesty of nature, and the beauty of imperfection, all have a voice in my work. While the work frequently embodies fragility, it also speaks of the possibility of change, growth, hope and resilience. Every piece I create is one of a kind. Many works are available for immediate purchase, and I’m always pleased to discuss custom pieces tailored to your space and vision.
