To be short and sweet, I love making things. I always have.

As a child, I made doll clothes and samplers; I put together plays; I cooked; I dabbled in all sorts of crafts, macramé, decoupage, crewel; and I sewed. I began sewing at 10 and made most everything one could wear for my family and me. Even when the realities of life brought about a career in business, I continued making things and exploring new forms of art. In 1992, I left the corporate world to launch my own company making things. This business flourished as I used my skills as calligrapher and painter to create things that lifted spirits and honored the people in our lives. I began teaching The Artist’s Way and creative workshops to help others develop their creative spirits.

Recently I have returned to working with fabric, making quilts and intricate walls hangings as new ways to express my spirit and life experiences. I am currently Artist-in-Residence at Emmanuel Monastery in Lutherville, MD, where I sew, quilt, paint, teach, pray and play.

I am fortunate and blessed to have exhibited my work throughout the Mid-Atlantic area and to have created things now in the homes and offices of many wonderful people.

Life is good – very, very good.
