Most of my life I have dabbled in fiber arts: sewing, quilting, and basketry. In 1992 I started working with Diana Sanderson as an apprentice. With her encouragement, I began to explore weaving as a personal expression. Later under Eve Kriss' direction, I learned to dye silk yarn.

In weaving as in life, I am interested in relationships. What does one yarn look like next to another? How does one color affect the others? How do different textures change the look and feel of a textile?

The pleasure comes from the tactile experience of handling and dyeing yarns, while exploring color and texture in simple weaves.
