I work with plants and plant dyes on natural fibers to make beautiful, useful things. I’m fascinated with the colors achieved from many humble weeds that we see every day. The plants have rather magical properties, I use special techniques to make them to give up their secrets to imprint my fabric. I’ve always been a bit obsessed with the passage of time. That makes this Art form perfect…for me. The time of year and the stage of growth of a plant, can affect the color that it offers to the process of my Fabric Art. The magic itself cannot be rushed—-open the Fabric-Plant bundle too soon and it will be ruined forever! This work teaches me mindfulness, presence and patience.

I strongly believe that immersion in art, should begin in the earliest years of life. Further believing that everyone has artistic ability, if only they could embrace it. Expressing oneself creatively is a most effective human therapy. I began my art education later in life when I volunteered as a docent at my children’s elementary school. I’ve enjoyed many creative activities throughout my life, but my interest was piqued when I learned of the “Art Docent Program”.

I am primarily a self-taught artist. For many years I’ve had a passion for all things fiber, textiles, and metals featuring rich color to create my art.

I offer my clientele “one of a kind” wearable art, such as handmade felt items, jewelry accessories, eco-dyeing, and encaustic wall hangings. I expect transformation in my designs as imagination and curiosity comes to life and evolves in my studio.

Basket making is weaving together materials and time. There are not many things I enjoy more than going into my studio, turning up the music and getting into the rhythm of the weave as a basket takes form.

I am a fiber artist. I make baskets and dolls, and my latest addiction is making hand-bound journals. I create items that are practical for everyday use. Some of my dolls are whimsical and require a sense off humor. My goal is to create items that speak to people.
