Artist's statement:
I am often asked wh
ere I get my inspiration from and I find this an easy and complex question.  How do I explain the dreams that come to me in the middle of the night?  What do I say or articulate about a particular design that suddenly appears out of nowhere?  It can be as simple as just taking a walk and seeing a garden that just amazes me.  I could be on my way into New York and I am seeing a view I may have passed a thousand times and yet, it is as if I am seeing it for the very first time.  A drive through a wildlife park can really get me going.  Inspiration is all around us, I just make sure I go slowly enough to see it.

All  I want to do is take my wonderful and colorful beads and translate them into weave and design.
