Artist 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. 

Media

Current personal media includes fibers: shibori (textile resist dying), katazomi (rice paste resist surface design on cloth) printing and painting on silk, and weaving; terra cotta figure sculpture and polymer clay; organic mixed (eg: crop art) labyrinth design and installation and garment design.
