A mid-life bachelor's degree in fine art, combined with decades of designing fine needlecrafts, combine to create a new slant on both painting and fiber art, and combinations of media that are uniquely my own. My work has been published nationally, accepted into juried competitions, won awards, and is in private collections from California to eastern Canada. Inspired by folk art, traditional crafts, and the wonder of creation, I love to fill a surface with color, texture and a sense of play. Soli Deo gloria.
