My goal as a weaver and fiber artist is to create distinctive cloth that cannot easily be produced commercially. To that end, when I weave, I often dye my warps (threads that are stretched on the loom) so that colors blend from one into the next. I create garments and accessories that are as beautiful as they are functional. I also weave one-of-a-kind table linens, make kumihimo and chain mail jewelry, and create pieced carryalls, purses, and evening bags

        My work is available for sale in the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia.  I work from a studio in my home.
