Textile design as fiber sculpture is my passion. I am a painter in the permanent collection of The Evansville Museum of Art and Science, Indiana and a woven honeysuckle form in the Smithsonian D.C. 1993, The White House.

"birdNEST" commission/collaboration 21C The Art Hotel, 2010.

In Seaside, OR. visit Shearwater Gallery.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft in Louisville, KY has represented my basketBOWL and BIRDnest sculptures since 1983.  

Each signature BASKETbowl form may be embellished with vintage buttons for added color and visual impact. Consider a commission using YOUR button collection.
