\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy art career began in 1987 after my husband and I spent\nmost of a year in a cabin in Denali National Park in Alaska. Since then I have explored a variety of art forms including: one of a kind women\u2019s clothing, art quilts, artist books,\ntextile design and dyeing, and mixed media sculptural\nforms. Textiles always have played a central role in my work. A lifelong interest in anthropology provides a foundation for many of the marks I choose to use.
\n
\nMy work is in both public and private collections.
