Ever since childhood, making things was important and fulfilling for me.  I was first influenced growing up among family members who worked with their hands.  My mother and grandmothers engaged in various textile related arts.  When I was at the University of WI Milwaukee, I took an art class with Professor Ruth Gao who introduced her students to several important visiting fiber artists.  They had a huge impact on me and that experience gave me interest and direction.

I like to experiment with color, texture and form.  The variations in color and pattern are a product of the slow, intricate, process of construction.  It takes many months to complete a piece.  Small details in nature are subconsciously an influence.  The intimate, personal, handmade nature of my work is what I hope people respond to.
