I am an artist who works with physical materials to explore the patterns and tactile qualities of objects

I believe creativity is a process that requires a knowledge of materials that is gained through a slow attention to practice plus a good deal of play and experimentation. 
I explore art using traditional materials on paper and with fibers and textiles. Sometimes I digitize my work using Adobe Photoshop. Sometimes I sell what I make.

View my work in fibers or paints
or read my essays about an artful life. 
Most of my inspiration comes from walking in gardens, museums, and shorelines. I hold degrees in history and graphic design, and I love to the explore the stories that live in human art works. 
When I’m not in the studio, I may be in the library with a book and a cup of tea, or I may be in the garden fussing over the flowers. My gardening goal is to have as many daffodils in my yard as possible, although my irises are competing for that top position. 
Please contact me with any inquiries about my work.
