I am a lifelong mixed-media artist, working in polymer and paper clays, resin, wood, textiles, fiber, metal and natural materials. I focus on creating figurative work in two-dimensional, relief and three-dimensional formats. I most like giving an old story a new twist, or creating my own imaginary characters with a touch of humor. It’s all about the idea, which often percolates for months or years before an artwork is finally expressed. I have a further passion for fiber arts, including spinning, felting, quilting and mixed media wool appliqué.
I attended college as a fine arts major and work full time as an artist/designer/teacher. My work has been shown in numerous publications; most recently it appeared in 500 Figures in Clay, published by Lark Books. I currently teach classes and seminars in sculpture, doll making and mixed media around the country and online. My upcoming online classes can be found on the NIADA Academy website.
