I am constantly moved and inspired by the patterns, textures, colors, and moods of the natural environment and how they transform themselves throughout the day and the year, as seen in water, fire, clouds, animals, plants, and rocks.

 

My goal is to foster strong connections between humans and their environment and therefore, I have chosen plant and animal fibers as my main artistic medium.  I am especially drawn to local art materials.

 

My art work has been part of various juried exhibits throughout Mendocino County and it is in private collections in California, Oregon, New York, England, Scotland, Germany, and Austria. 

 

I have been teaching fiber arts courses at Willits High School, Willits Kids Club, Emandal a Farm on a River, Mendocino College Community Extension Program and in my private studio.
