I grew up in a household where people made things “from scratch”. My parents built their own house, made furniture, turned wooded bowls, made cement sculpture and sewed clothing as well as doing painting, both on the walls and on canvas.
I went on to major in studio art at Mount Holyoke College and have a Masters Degree in sculpture from the University of New Mexico. After working in commercial art for 18 years in Dallas, Texas, I started my own fiber art company, painting on silk for scarves, dresses and coats as well as elaborate narrative silk quilts which were sold at galleries and craft fairs across the country. My current interest in felting makes it possible to combine sculpture, painting and fiber art skills in one piece.
In the last few years I have also returned to oil painting, which I had not done since college years, as well as continuing a life-long practice of watercolor painting and drawing.
I am delighted to be part of the Leverett Crafts and Arts Community.
