Gender Female

Occupation mom/volunteer/artist
Location Langley, Canada
Introduction I'm a west coast multimedia artist. I range from designing rugs and hangings, to sculpting steampunk figures and fashioning individual pieces of jewelry. I also make pine needle baskets and use inclusions of bone, metal and sea glass. As you can see, my muse takes me in a lot of different directions but happily, they can overlap in a way that enhances each piece.
Interests Rug hooking, polymer clay, pine needle basketry, writing, and science fiction.
Favorite Movies Old monster movies, ( no slashers), really bad old sci. fi., Poirot, and NO movies of the week.
Favorite Music I hate whiney chick ballads. "Smash Mouth", "Mercy Me", and "Bryan Duncan" are what's in the car. I like songs that make me jump up and dance. It can be so embarrassing in the grocery store. Bananarama's "Venus" has caused my son untold humiliation.
Favorite Books Science fiction, comic strip books (Sherman's Lagoon, Dilbert), author Dave Barry, Russian literature (classic and modern), social history (not to be confused with Socialist history), theology and Egyptology.

Q:What's with the name "What box?" design? A:I find that artists seem to fall into three different types. There are people who flourish with a set pattern and like to recreate a certain image. Other people are said to think "outside of the box". There is also a third group that has no idea there is a box. I think I fall into this group.
