Artist's Statement

The artist’s expression is born out of his / her spirituality.  I feel the continuing development of both is interdependent.  I produce material work which constitutes evidence of this process for myself.  I facilitate the arts experience for others to enhance their skills at exploring this path.  Societal development flows from such endeavors shared. 

Teaching

Media based classes are available in weaving, shibori, katazomi, terra cotta and various textile apparel construction and fitting skills. Currently, this is on a “by request” basis.
