My love of nature and the natural world has always influenced my work. Landscapes with their forms and lines seem to be where my imagination takes me. One of my loves is the vast vistas of the American Southwest where I honed my craft and felt my passion for the rich and vibrant colors of the desert and mountains grow. Living in the Northwest with its more subdued palette and ocean influence lets me meld the combination of the two. The contrasts are exciting to me and the hundreds of colors I dye catch the subtle nuances I feel in weaving each tapestry.
