Ever since I was a toddler whose grandmother boasted that "you should see how she can draw!", I have been expressing myself in one form of artwork or another. As I get older, I find that my muse [or Good Orderly Direction] allows the flow to just increase! Rather than running dry, I see inspiration in every aspect of everyday life, in every relationship, in every glimpse of nature. I am a blessed person.

Of course, each of us puts some of ourself into everything we do. As a young person, we may search for our own personal style, or mission, or voice. It is only when we have logged enough years to begin to see the big picture, that we realize that we are born with that style and that voice, and that our only mission is to discover our purpose and strive to fulfill it.

When doing independent work, there are no limits to the techniques or materials I will try. Having a piece in progress gives me a channel for my energy, a place to focus. Having no business fretting over those things which I cannot control, I strive instead to employ the gifts that were given me to produce something which carries human experience into the future as far as textiles can survive.

When producing a work on commission, I immerse myself in the vision and desires of my client, and focus the lens of my abilities on a result that will reflect their preferences while carrying the unmistakable stamp of what the work is, mine. You are invited to view the work on this page through my eyes.
