Artist Bio

Picture
Long attracted to the arts, I began creating custom quilts and fabrics for interior designers in Steamboat Springs, Vail and Aspen Colorado. When my husband took a position in Nome, Alaska, naturally my studio was packed up as well, much to the consternation of the moving company! It was there that I began expanding from weaving into beading, wirework, and polymer clay while learning about the Native arts.
​
​In 1992 it was my great honor to be chosen to take part in the second Fellowship Flight between what was then still the USSR and the US. My work has been accepted into numerous shows juried by such notables as Lloyd Herman, Director of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian. New to pyrography on gourds, it came as a complete surprise when one of my pieces was awarded Best in Show at the 2012 Neo-Mimbreno Art Exhibit in New Mexico. After admiring the work of Dale Chihuly, it was a treat to have my work 

selected to show alongside his traveling Glass Basket exhibit hosted by the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum.

Drawn to color, texture and what could be considered the “lost” arts, I am now exploring lapidary, wire, and assorted new mediums while allowing nature to inspire my direction.
