I come from a tradition of women who spoke their minds and stood up for their ideals.  Some of the women’s faces I have woven are known for their political struggles, others are known for their battles with internal demons, all have had an impact on the world.  I am fascinated by the stories of these women and feel they should not be forgotten.

I have been working with textiles as long as I can remember, my grandmother being my first teacher.  After experimenting with transparency weaving I realized I have the patience for traditional tapestry.  In 2003 I took my first tapestry workshops. I have studied with Jean Pierre Larochette and Yael Lurie, and presently am working under the tutelage of Archie Brennan and Susan Maffei.  In 2005 I studied tapestry with Pat Taylor at West Dean College in England for an intensive six weeks. I have exhibited in England and the US over the last five years, and presently have a tapestry in ATB6.  I am also a member of The Wednesday Group, a group of exhibiting tapestry artists which includes Brennan and Maffei.
