I believe creativity is a process that requires a knowledge of physical materials that is gained through a slow attention to practice plus a good deal of play and experimentation.
I explore traditional art using mixed media on paper, hand-work with fibers and textiles, and nature photography. Sometimes I digitize my work using Adobe Photoshop. Sometimes I sell what I make.
Digital Repeat Patterns
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 physical art made with human hands.
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.
