I have been a fiber artist for as long as I can remember... I've done every conceivable art, from knitting to quilting, sewing, crochet, tatting, spinning, weaving, embroidery, applique, beading, lace-making, and felting, among others. However, my specialty lies in Free Form Crochet & Knitting. I've exhibited all over the United States, as well as several international locations, and have won several awards for my work.
However, nothing gives me more pleasure than woodturning... picking up a piece of wood and trying to discern the patterns within... combining textures and colors together... then finally finding the perfect shape the piece whispers to me as I'm working... creating a piece that is a true work of art

A Master Fiber Artist, I have a unique perspective on making "tools of the trade" -- crochet hooks, knitting needles, nostepindes, drop spindles, etc. because I know how they ought to feel when you work with them: length, balance, and form. To me, the beauty of exotic wood and stone adds that extra "something special," which translates into heirloom quality artifacts.
I love finding new combinations of color and texture, and often add precious metals, semi-precious stones, lampworked beads made by other Artists, as well as try out all sorts of new materials! I make each piece by hand, one at a time, which is unique; one-of-a-kind.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my web site. If you have any questions, comments, or conversation, please don't hesitate to e-mail me. I love hearing from people across the Internet :) My work is available primarily through the Internet on eBay and Etsy. And please stop by and see sold pieces in my online Gallery.
