Welcome! My introduction to the world of art came at an early age when I was invited by a neighborhood artist into the busy realm of her textile art studio. The scent of simmering, pungent dyes, along with skeins of thick turquoise and magenta wools, rug-hooking forms, and assorted spindles would lead me to a life-long pursuit of creating art.

A quote by an Irish writer has always resonated with me and encapsulates my artistic “mission.”

There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its
outlines all our lives." Josephine Hart

I believe that it is the blending together of memories, hopes, senses and scents, and our surroundings and interpersonal influences, that transform the brew of our existence into what can become a shared artistic experience.

Again, welcome!
