Bio
“A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist world.” ~ Hans Hoffman
As a child I delighted in creating “magical spaces” transforming tiny corners of the cellar or woodlands surrounding our home into my own little worlds: places in which to read, draw and dream.
In the early 1960s after spending a year studying France and drawing the Parisian skyline from my little one room seventh story walkup, I lived in Woodstock NY. This proved a perfect place and time in life for me to pursue classes at the Art Students League and investigate both hand weaving and silversmithing with professionals (Iona Plath and Eva Van Ryan.)
I migrated to Santa Fe in 1971, did silver work with jeweler Ross Llewellyn, and published six children’s books before creating another, larger “magical space”, The Geranium Slip: a boutique selling antiques, collectibles and “yesterday’s clothes. Later, in collage and assemblage work, I began to incorporate objects found and acquired, ordinary and unique, ancient and modern, into pieces of art that were shown in Santa Fe and Taos.
In 1998, intrigued with monotype printing, I began studying with Ron Procrasso and Regina Held. Ultimately my work gained representation in five galleries, as well as juried shows and collections.
Now, residing in, the state of Washington, after many years in the southwest, my imagination is fired and my art informed by water, mountains, fog, wind, rain, cargo ships and, my two most recent passions, the Palouse and wind turbines! |
