Terra: Wheat and Grass
In “Terra” I have created a dynamic surface with a series of slits and sections that use an extreme eccentric weft that pushes the normally tightly controlled tension in a tapestry to a new fluid, dynamic surface. The two parts of Terra reflect the way the fields of grain move in the breeze over gentle hills.
Call of theBlue Hills
Call of the Blue Hills is a handwoven tapestry.

I have always been attracted to watercolor because of the way that pigment moves across the wet paper and saturates some parts and not the other. In this piece I am trying to capture the same subtle, fluid movements with the tonal shifts of color within the shapes.
I frequently walk the Headlands to enjoy the ocean views as well as the many unique geologic and biotic features of the area.
In this tapestry I wanted to consider the hills from which I draw great inspiration. By using a watercolor interpretation, I am able to reflect the way that water, in its elusive forms of ocean, fog, rain, and (hopefully flowing) creeks, is necessary to support the unique features that is so much a part of this region.
MAGIC CERAMIC BOX
Wheelthrown ceramic boxes with handpainted floral design. Each box is unique and one of a kind. The inside is glazed white for keeping special things.
HAND PAINTED AND CARVED CYLINDRICAL FLOWER VASES
These tall, cylindrical vases thrown on the wheel using Navaho clay. I then hand painted floral motifs and carved details before drying and firing. I then glazed the inside a vibrant turquoise for a nice contrast to hold large blooms.

Pandemic Candle Light
Tracking Light in Dark Times, Seeking Solace in a Pandemic
In response to the pandemic lockdown, I gave myself a photographic assignment to capture at least one iPhone photo every day to keep my eyes and brain creative and engaged. Being confined to a single location for many months challenged me to find a fresh photo each day. Seeking light in a dark time, I began photographing sun patterns streaming into my house. With light as the subject, I tracked the sun’s progression across walls as time crept around the wheel of the year. When an interesting pattern appeared I had to respond immediately, chasing it as it moved and changed, and then was gone. That exact image would never return. My daily photo journal was subtly different every day, a personal solar clock, like living in a sun dial.
This image is from an October afternoon. Sunlight bounced off an unlit candleholder, brushing the wall with shifting shapes as patterns rose and melted. The monochrome print reflects my feeling of monotone time. Yet even in the monotonous everyday, there are delicate moments of discovery, wonder and delight, resilient gifts of hope when we open our eyes to see.

Light Eye
Seeking light in a dark time during the pandemic lockdown, I began photographing sun patterns streaming into my house. Morning sunlight moved across white walls, but in the afternoon, the setting sun entered west facing windows during Happy Hour. Met with cut crystal goblets, sunlight fractured into colorful, moving refractions. This image is a composite from several photos in the Pandemic Happy Hour series. My resulting pandemic visual journal contains hundreds of photos and time-lapse videos, documenting a journey of hope and resilience during uncertain, challenging times.
