Artist Statement
I made my first basket in 1980, taking a class at a community college in California. I have continued since then, exploring new materials and techniques. In Washington I discovered red cedar…
Expanding my creative impulses, after retiring and moving to Washington, I began exploring loom weaving in 2002 and life hasn’t been the same since. Creating cloth is magical! There is nothing like combining weave structure and color – except maybe creating the perfect basket.
