I am a creator of handmade everyday objects of adornment and storage. My training is informal and ongoing, with items created from fabrics, glass, and stone. Current fixations are handmade cross-body bags and wallets from dead-stock/remnant upholstery fabrics, and crocheted jewelry with pottery, glass, and stone. Functionality and visual appeal are key components in my work. The time spent finding the perfect angles, textures, and color combinations to create a unique work of art is both my meditation and expression. Just like birds assemble fantastical found treasures, my goal is to create items myself and others will enjoy gathering for their own personal collections.
