where you will see images of my rozome and mixed media.
I started as a painter and art historian.
In 1980 I discovered batik, after working as a textile research associate
at the Museum of International Folk Art for ten years. Batik combined
my love for textiles with my training as a painter. Recently I've been exploring the world of fired clay, which I combine with branches from trees on our land.
Water is a recurring theme for me; living in the desert Southwest I'm aware of every drop that falls, flows
or evaporates anywhere nearby.
For fifty years I've enjoyed watching the wildlife and wildflowers in the high desert by my studio. A severe drought is driving our ecosystem here now, yet it is interesting to see the balance that develops even in dry times when humans make wise choices.
I believe we should live lightly on this earth
in absolute awe of its magnificence.
I hope this comes through in my work. (more)
