My art is deeply rooted in the transformation of natural materials into three dimensional sculpture. As a papermaker and fiber artist since 1989, I work with concepts of the open vessel form, cocoons, grief, loss, renewal, plane and form, shadow and light as found in the natural world. Perspective relative to the interrelationship between inside and outside, and the space between is especially evocative.

A coastal northern California native, I've lived in northern New Mexico since 2010. My art practice focuses on three-dimensional fiber sculpture including Japanese style handmade paper, wood, ink, indigo, thread and plant fiber. I am inspired by wild landscapes, seasonal changes and the interrelationship between people and the planet. As an exhibiting artist since 1997, my work has been presented nationally and internationally in galleries and art fairs. My sculptures have been featured in several publications, and I have been a recipient of artist residencies and fellowships.

I’m a member of IAPMA (International Association of Papermakers & Paper Artists), Surface Design Association, Hand Papermaking Magazine and the New Mexico Women in the Arts.
