“I delight in the magical surrealism of reality in nature. My designs are inspired by studies of entomology, and life sciences, as well as experiences while living in the tropics and the desert.
I have been a fiber artist for over 40 years. I enjoy incorporating textile techniques in metal into my work. The textile patterns and textures fixed into the metal evoke memories of the traditional textiles and basketry encountered while living abroad. Translating fiber techniques into silver, copper and gold continues to fascinate me. I explore the processes of applying patinas and enamels, as well as incorporating gemstones and beads into my work.
With passion and joy, I continue to push my own limits as well as the limits of the techniques and materials.”
