Growing up in Somerville, MA, where free summer art classes were offered to the children in urban areas, I wanted to take basket weaving more than anything. I loved making things and itched to get my hands on all of those colors and textures to create something that would stand on its own. Unfortunately, being only 10 at the time, I was told I was too young to enroll. Life moved on and my artistic notions took a back seat. It wasn't until I retired that I had the time and means to try again.

The minute I began to weave for the first time 10 years ago, however, I was hooked. Studying with the very talented artist, Debra Rolfe in Cambridge, MA, I learned to express myself in reed and sea grass, finding that interplay of contemporary colors and smooth textures where nature's beauty and design overlaps. My own style has evolved, and I continue to explore what the medium has to offer, always striving to make a stunning piece that is beautiful and can be passed on for generations.
