I love color. I love design. I love decoration (but not bling). I love the look,texture,and colors of textiles and the threads that create them. I love to make up new ideas!.
I have sewn and knitted all my life,following a skilled mother and a father who worked for one of the big New England textile companies and who brought home samples! When I migrated to the Midwest and retired from teaching high school, I dove more deeply into textile arts and took up quilting,design,weaving and spinning, embroidery, dyeing. I\'ve taught these skills to community college classes and small groups. I\'ve administered two quilt shows. I\'ve studied art history and ethnic traditions. A number of my former students have become friends and we still meet to share the enthusiasm.
I have now taken the passion to another level and am participating in developing an arts district in our riverfront town. I show my work as an artisan in the gallery there and find inspiration in the work of the other artisans of the community.
