Thanks for wanting to learn more about me. I have done some creative work virtually every day of my adult life. Time in the studio is built into my daily routine and I especially enjoy the challenge of figuring things out and organizing information.
I work from my home studio in a small creative town in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. It's a beautiful, light filled space with a view of the tree tops and the sound of the creek bubbling below. I work with textiles, wire, metal sheet, and polymer and resin clays to create one-at-a-time pieces (and components) that are truly one-of-a-kind. That's important to me. Many of these are then for sale in the shop.
Currently, I write a weekly newsletter although that may be about to change and I have just decided (June 2023) to condense my two channels back to one. Everything I share is a compilation of what I know and what I'm learning combined with a huge dose of support and encouragement.
I am excited to see where the path leads, to see what I design, create, and teach. I am drawn to organic creativity, to starting and responding step-by-step to the developing piece to see where it takes you. I don't need another thing; I need another creative journey.
