I have always lived in a world that was so much larger and more vibrant than the one we can experience with just our five senses.  As a child I had tea with the fairies in the forest and long conversations with animals, rocks and trees.  I had a mad love for beauty from the time I was very young.  My early elementary teachers pulled my mother aside to show her my gigantic, vibrant suns that clearly existed beyond the page

As an adult, creating jewelry, fiber pieces, painting, and even cooking and gardening allow me to explore that rich world. It’s there that I am most comfortable, more at home.  I enjoy opening up to possibility, in fact I think it’s the job of the artist to bring possibilities to light.  Surely these inner worlds exist somewhere or we wouldn’t “see” them so clearly.  As an artist I feel I am given the responsibility to explore the invisible landscapes of who we really are, as individuals, as a species and to explore our connection to everything around us.
