I’m a fiber/mixed media artist, who hopes to eventually kick that “office day job” and become a full-time self-supporting artist. Until then, all of my spare moments are devoted to creating art.

My first love is fiber dyeing. I love getting my hands on any natural fibers such as bamboo, cotton or paper & turning them into deep jewel tone colors.

My repurposed art developed from a sailing trip my husband & I took, May 2009, around the Croatian Islands. When we’d sail into port, we’d stop at the markets to purchase food for that evening & for the next day’s sail. In those Croatian markets, the opportunities for junk food were very minimal, there were only 2 options for "crisps" not 20, so we ate a lot of those chips on our trip.

The artist in me decided to keep those empty bags & that “surely, I could do something with them & create a souvenir from the trip.” After I created a quilt block for the wall, I then questioned, “what about a handbag or a wallet”? Then I realized, “what about all of those candy wrappers, chip bags, soda bottle & beer labels that we toss into the garbage every day?” With that, my repurposed art line developed & I've been turning trash into treasures ever since!
