I have been working with fabrics as long as I can remember, from dressing my dolls in scarves as a young girl to making garments and quilts from my hand dyed and embellished fabrics.

Always wanting to create something unique, I have designed and constructed much of my own clothing since my college years. I started painting and printing on fabrics experimentally in the '90's and took classes with Jane Dunnewald and Ann Johnston. I'm always experimenting with a variety of media from other disciplines, such as welding, pottery, painting and drawing. While I am often working in a somewhat traditional mode, my varied background and cross-media scrounging bring a unique touch to my work.

Although I have some formal art training, I believe my “eye“ comes from experience, an open mind and passion.
