I am a tapestry weaver. The rhythm of the loom and the slow process of dyeing and weaving forces me to slow down and pay attention to the essential nature of what I am creating in my art and in my life. The outcome is often unexpected and has the potential to lead me to a new place. The metaphor of weaving a life is always present for me as I work, and weaving becomes a way of expressing interconnectedness of all life forms, one thread at a time.
I am currently dumping the sand out of my shoes somewhere in the American Southwest. You can find out where exactly on my blog (link at left)!. If I am not weaving, I spend my time hiking long trails with my partner and yellow lab, laughing with friends and family, knitting, reading, making music, or working as an occupational therapist.
