About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Retired and working with fiber art
Location Silverdale, Washington, United States
Introduction I am a lover of art (leaning towards textiles and liturgical art) and nature (in my own yard and beyond). I love all aspects of fiber arts; from the first thread piercing the fabric to finished piece--starting with an idea, developing that idea and then producing the final product. Sometimes I feel that in my previous life I was a farmer. I love gardening and working in the soil. It is the place where I feel very much at home. The natural world plays a huge role in my creation of fiber art.

What would you wear for camouflage if you were hiding in a gingerbread house?

I would wear caramel, covered in dark chocolate and sprinkled with sparkly sea salt.
