I experience art making as an expression of my joy and wonder in encountering the natural world. I play with the complexity and intricacy of light and shadow, color, texture, form and design. Sometimes it’s creating an image - in paint or fiber - of what I notice out of the unfathomable complexity that we are immersed in - a landscape - a moment, a tree, a weed pod, a body. Other times its creating a sculptural piece combining a foraged stick or vine with fiber reflecting back what the subject seems to say to me.

The Drawing Studio is, for me, a place for learning, inspiration and community. I have participated in lessons, workshops, and life drawing sessions. The Monday morning Open Studio has been particularly nurturing for me.
