About

I consider life to be a series of circumstances created for the next level of mastery. My artwork, which is generally composed of dyed fabric, quilting, beadwork, and needlecrafts, is the documentation of my life journey in both light and shadow times.  I recognize the power of my creations as part of a drama between Divinity and me.  I am weaving forms, colors, beads, fabrics, yarns, and ideas together into a meaningful integration and expression of my soul and where I find myself in the moment.
