Wilmington, NC
As a child of the 1950s in North Carolina, I was shooed outside in the morning, free to explore my world until suppertime. I was an avid collector of rocks, leaves and other oddities that I thought were beautiful. At age eight I learned to knit and was hooked. Sixty plus years later I am still an avid collector of found objects, leaves and oddities. I still love to knit.
I studied art at UNC-Chapel Hill, receiving a BFA in1974. After earning an MFA in painting and drawing from Auburn University in 1979, I taught there for several years.
My husband Tom and I moved to Wilmington, NC in 1984 where I worked as a scenic artist in the film industry. I was a founding board member and teacher for DREAMS of Wilmington, a non-profit organization that provides free arts education fo at-risk youth. After Tom and I raised two artsy daughters, I quickly moved into full time artist mode. My current work combines botanical contact printing, knitting and stitching with a painterly feel.
