I grew up near Pittsburgh, Pa. I was always making stuff...I made art, clothes, wrote stories, music & lyrics.

I went to Slippery Rock State College & Edinboro U. of PA for a BFA in Ceramics. Along the way I took many fiber, sculpture, jewelry & painting classes.

I met my husband on a commune (yep), had 2 baby boys (homebirths), learned about growin' food, milkin'cows, caring for horses...then moved to coast of Maine. The ocean and islands have many stories to tell. Been here 20 years...in a house my husband Bill built. We have a swimming pond with Koi an old black dog (magic) and alot of peace & quiet.

I have gone from being a potter to a weaver a seamstress a jeweler a sculptor and a painter. I never did believe it when someone told me I had to find one thing and stick to it!! I think all my work led me to being a better artist...and gives me more ways to tell stories. After all...artists are storytellers at heart.
