About the Artist

From miniature interior wall pieces to large-scale sculptural installations, Parriott’s fabric, steel, and mixed media pieces speak of the dichotomy between our physical and spiritual aspects and the transitory nature of form.  Exhibited in New York City, throughout the Hudson Valley of New York, the USA and Europe, her work has received numerous honors and awards.
