Columbia, SC
I am a maker/artist and live in Columbia, SC. I create in fiber/textile arts and in ceramics. I examine the world through observations and let the themes in my work speak of social issues, society and celebrations, narratives and environmental issues. Some of my art begins with play, exploring materials, which then informs me. Other times I have an image in mind and create from there, rarely using a sketch. I like to push/break the rules when creating, often exploring on my on before I am schooled in a process. My intention in weaving was to create in 3-D rather than a smoother surface so that I could push limits both visually and texturally.
I retired from a combined 38 year career as an art educator, both as an elementary art teacher and an adjunct instructor in Art Education at the University of SC.
