Themes of loss and renewal have been central to my work for many years. Rather than work in any one material or process I let the muse guide me to the media that will allow me to articulate my ideas most vividly.
I am a member of Northwest Designer Craftsmen and . I belong to the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists, North American Hand Papermakers and Surface Design Association.
