Hello, and welcome!

 I have been an artist and teacher for over 30 years, working with clay, sculpture and fiber, and more recently botanical printing and mixed media. I am a former gallery owner and museum curator, and I exhibit my artwork at a range of galleries across the United States.

I have a Master’s Degree in Visual Arts, am a certified teacher, and have taught at all levels, including college level art history courses.   

As a fiber artist working primarily in “pictorial felt” my work ranges from hand-felted landscapes to large, mural sized felted wall hangings.After learning to felt in Ireland, I fell in love with the process of creating with fleece, from Turkish rug making to creating hats and mittens. I became fascinated with the possibilities of using the fiber “pictorially” to create artwork.

I also lead Art-Travel courses in the United States and Europe, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter for updates! Learn more about my tours at www.authentictravelandtours.com.

 I live on Madeline Island in Lake Superior, a constant source of inspiration for felted art.
The ever-changing sky, water and sunsets are magnificent!

I have also traveled extensively in Ireland, Scotland and France, and the images of those landscapes seem to continually arise in my work.
