I believe everyone has seeds of creativity within, and finding the right soil to grow those seeds can be fun. I believe that making art is a wonderful way to be creative.  Experimenting in different media is such an exhilarating process.  The goal is to access one’s creativity, and in doing so, nurturing and trusting it.  My classes include painting and dying fabric, upcycle sewing, making sculpture and jewelry from metal, found objects and simple materials, and many other accessible techniques.  I’d like to be your partner, helping you grow your creative garden.

More about my career:

In the gallery section of my website, you will see past work from my corporate sculpture years. Some of these concepts will show up again in my class offerings. You can see how I use the media I love: fiber, metal, pattern, and design.
