I gravitate more to textural and three-dimensional work, but vision and expression drive my art.  I create mixed media sculpture, wall hangings and wearables that explore themes in history, symbolism, music, dance, spirituality, feminism and self. 

I received my BFA in Fibers & Textiles with minors in Metalsmithing & Ceramics from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.  I have been exhibiting in juried and non-juried shows across the United States since 1986.
