Artist's Statement
Observation, preservation of history, acts of goodness and honesty are elements I incorporate into my art. I go into the woods to gather my materials. The smells, sights and textures of Earth are present everywhere. So it is with my art.

Handmade Papers
I use a two thousand year old process to make paper. I gather plant material then process the fiber. Often times I dye papers with natural pigments. Next, I hand pull sheets or prepare a pulp. I paint on the resulting papers or sculpt with the pulp which I call putty or batter.
