Ever since I was a child I wanted to be an artist. My greatest moments were always creating and making things. Art for me is a way of life. When I am unable to work due to outside influences, a bit of me goes a bit stir crazy. I love to explore many mediums and ways of expressing myself artistically.

Over the years I have tried many forms including ceramics, fiber arts, drawing, painting, and mixed media.  For many years I considered myself a fiber artist and expressed myself with fabrics and yarns, painting and sculpting fabric, creating wearables, weaving and knitting.  I still create art dolls which are sold in several galleries around the country. Currently my favorite form of expression is with mixed media. I love texture, form and color and the ability to combine all of them along with a variety of art materials in my work allows me to express the combinations of ideas that bombard my mind.

I draw my inspiration from many sources; from simple forms of nature, from everyday objects, from the materials I work with and from the ideas that take shape in my mind’s eye. My art work as well as my growth as a person are constantly changing and expanding. I have never been able to limit myself to one technique or means of expression.  Here in this web site are samplings of some of the various ways that expression has taken shape.
