- About Me:
- I have always been an artist. I have always drawn, cut, pasted, painted, collected, sewn, written and dreamed. I have been driven by the question, “What if?” (and fighting against its archenemy, “That won’t work!”)
I also wear many other hats. Among other things, I am a sign language interpreter, an energy worker, a minister, a blogger, a wife to a wonderful and creative man, and a mother to two wild and amazing little girls. All of these roles shape and change and inform my art.
I am a 5th generation Oregonian. This lush and verdant environment is in my blood. I grew up in a valley surrounded by tree-covered hills and blessed with a great deal of rain. I memorized the names of flowers as a child. I picked basketsful of mushrooms in the damp woods and studied moss and built forts inside of blackberry thickets. After traveling the United States, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
My work has appeared on the cover of the 2005 Quilting Arts Calender, in Artella Magazine, Art/Quilt Magazine, Fiberarts Design Book 6, as well as many juried shows.

Zen and the Art of Mandala Making
The word mandala comes from the sanskrit and means sacred circle. The circle symbolizes the womb of creation. It is an artistic representation of the cosmos, a focus for meditation.
I love drawing mandalas. When I am creating and coloring a mandala, I enter a sort of zen zone. I love the circular nature of them, the interplay of patterns, colors and lines. I love the suprises that occur where lines intersect to create unexpexcted shapes.
When I am drawing a mandala, I infuse it…

Obsessive Much?
I can definitely feel myself in the throws of a new obsession with this Etsy business. I spend so much time on the computer, I barely get anything else accomplished! There's just this whole new world of social networking and pictures to upload and fun sites to peruse. Whew!
Feels like when I discovered Yahoo groups years ago and signed up for about 30 of them. I obsessively checked my email about a zillion times a day for quite a while. I have whittled it do
