I’m a finder at heart, what some call an ephemera magnet.

I love using found objects in my art because it's making something out of nothing, out of trash, out of discarded, unwanted stuff. Recycle art.

I find it a challenge to focus on any one medium or technique because I love to learn, to experiment, and am drawn to so many different art forms. I’ve been creating art since I was very young. I enjoy sharing what I make, what I know, and what I have with others.

A favorite day is when friends come and spend the day in my studio (aka, the Art Room). We laugh, we eat, we make art. Having guests in the Art Room is when I usually feel most creative. Whether it's holding a class with a guest artist, spending the day with creative friends, or holding an open studio, creating art amongst others is what I enjoy the most.

It seems like each year (or each class I take at a retreat or locally), I add another item to my creative itinerary. I've been creating a variety of things recently, including my handcut tin Heart Wings - pendant/pins that are both whimsical and a little funky. I continue to make my mixed media mandalas, which are a combination of collage and acrylic paintings. And when the weather is cold, I pick up my knitting needles and work on my line of Funky Fibers fabric and yarn scarves.
