My work evolves from handmade and surface-designed papers and pulp. Much of my inspiration comes from a “sense of the spiritual” found in nature, in both sacred places and in nature’s artwork: an intricate, meandering grapevine tendril; a perfectly round, smooth, wave-tumbled stone from the coast; birch bark; manzanita burls; a carefully woven bird’s nest; a bone; a poppy seed pod; an antler.

These elements come together to form my sculptural nests, which whisper of emotions, the life cycle, and the significance of home. Nests are homes--vessels for birth and life, memories and "becomings." Our homes, as vessels, are meant to protect, shelter, nurture, and guide. These nests are hand cast with handmade paper or pulp.. I then incorporate fibers, beads, found objects, stitching, basketry and packaging techniques to transform the seemingly ordinary into works I hope evoke wonder, peacefulness, and beauty.

I also create one-of-a-kind handmade books, collages, cards, paste papers, and handmade paper.

230am Studio at the Carriage House is open by appointment. See my Upcoming Events page for classes.
