I’m a biologist by degree, teacher by profession, and fiber artist by passion.  Born and raised in Southern California, I have spent the past three decades living in the Colorado Rockies.  My husband and I are avid campers and hikers, and I am never without my camera.  With Mother Nature as my mentor, I start with what I see.

I use a number of tools in creating my art including a camera, computer, scanner, printer, and sewing machine.  I dye, paint, discharge, print, stitch and embellish fabric.  Each art quilt evolves as I work, with the end result being something beyond what I envisioned at the onset.  My work, like nature, is ever changing, and is found in numerous corporate and private collections.
