Starting my art career in the Ozarks in the early 1980’s I began painting and weaving as a member of the Arkansas Craft Guild. The highlight of that time was being selected to create an ornament for the White House Christmas Tree in 1993.
Relocating in the early 1990’s to the Monterey Peninsula, California area, I began painting in silk exclusively. I was drawn to the luminescence and watercolor like quality of the transparent dyes on the shimmering silk. I focus on silk scarves and a wonderful rectangular form for my subjects. I generally interpret nature or nature-based designs, but I also use the landscape in my scarves as well. My scarves are all unique one-of-a kind paintings in a functional scarf form.
