About

I was born into a Military family and received a lifetime of inspiration with my Global travels. I was 17 years old when we moved to Hawaii which was “Home” for over 20 years. My husband’s career had us relocate to our current home in Arizona. Being influenced by these locations and their people has taught me the importance of honoring traditions and continuing my Heritage story.

My Mother, who was an Artist in her own right, encouraged me to be creative in many artistic forms. Having 5 generations of quilters in my family, fiber art has always been part of my life. I have been blessed with the influence of many leaders in this craft. They have shared with me the technical aspects of working with fiber, while still allowing me to express my own artistic vision.

My current art Form is “Felting”. I make large scale wall pieces, 3D Luminaries, and wool paintings.This art form is deceptively simple yet endlessly complex. The tactile experience is heightened utilizing the basic materials like wool, silk and incorporating unexpected materials like gold leaf, grasses and other recycled fibers. The pure physicality of the felting Process is one of a “Meditative labor”. Working in realistic forms, as well as abstract imagery gives me the opportunity to express myself completely.

I belong to two Co-Operative galleries in Arizona. I have served on the Board and been Chairperson for Social Media and Website Development. I also participate in several Art Fairs, Featured Artist Events and Studio Tours throughout the year. Teaching Felting Workshops allows me to share the love of my craft with my community. Member of the Sonoran Art League and AQS. My work can be found in Private Collections in the U.S. and abroad.
