I am a mixed media and book artist and teacher. My mixed media pieces often include materials that are commonly used in book construction. I am interested in weaving stories and a sense of my place in my work. I look to the natural world for constant inspiration and am fascinated by the cycle of decay and regeneration. I am most happy working with fiber, found objects, handmade paper and old ephemera.

I live in Charlottesville, Virginia with family (and several cats, chickens, bees and a dog!). You can find me working in studio #5A at McGuffey Art Center in downtown Charlottesville or maybe out working in my tangled garden.
