I am a self-taught artist who grew up on the East Coast and followed in my mother’s footsteps as a sculptor until I headed to college to study art at Rutgers.  I dabbled with a variety of mediums just to test the waters, but when I moved to Alaska in the late 80’s, I become obsessed with collecting sticks, stones, and shells in the coastal waters of Prince William Sound to create ‘jewelry made from nature’, which, over the decades, morphed into hangable sculpture.  

I relocated to Idaho in 2014 and have participated in the robust art scene through a variety of art organizations, as well as installations at the Botanical Garden, and teaching workshops to adults and children about making art from recycled materials at the Boise Watershed.
