Born in Ohio, a considerable number of years ago, I knew in gradeschool I wanted to be an artist.
I have been a teacher, watercolor painter, and currently a fiber sculptor. I have participated in Springfield Art Guild, Artisans United, and Artful Dimensions. 

 

As an arts activist I was on the Board of the Arts Council of Fairfax County. I have been Artist In Residence at Noyes School of Rhythm, a camp in Portland CT for movement and rhythm. I attend every summer to fill up my creative well, and have had the experience of joining a band of gypsies, visiting the Wizard of Oz, and being kidnapped by pirates.

My art, consisting currently of art dolls, tree sculptures, and bark assemblies, springs from a deep love of the forest, and the whimsey and magic of living on earth
