Artist Statement:
I am an artist who has been exhibiting my original fine art for over 30 years. During this time, I have found that I enjoy creating art to wear as an artistic warm-up or meditation. This has served me as an artist by getting me back into the studio for creative sessions that are more geared towards play and experimentation. Making functional pieces is fun for me, and brings me joy when others choose to wear them. I personally love to wear handmade items by local artists and I can only hope that my works will find a similar place in someone else's collection.
