Art and craft inspired by environments.



Running the C&O Canal towpath is never boring -- every month the canal, the Potomac river, and the surrounding woods change. The light changes and alters the way we see the locks and the lockhouses.

 

Paddling out of the cove in Maine to explore the coast line is an adventure in discovery because every day the tides bring new objects to shore. The stand of trees near the lobster pound changes from bright green to black as the sun dips below the horizon.

 

No matter where I might be -- hiking in Hocking Hills, Ohio, paddling the Maine shoreline, or running the C&O Canal towpath or Anacostia River Trail -- I am always trying to figure out how I can carry whatever I find back home! These found objects inspire and become part of three-dimensional constructions.

 

You will find a wide variety of fine art and craft here that changes with the seasons and my interests. I also can offer services to those in the Washington, DC metro area including hanging/installation of art, decorating consultation, site-specific installations, and commissioned work.

In 1995 I graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design with a Bachelors of Fine Arts. Life brought me to the Washington, DC area where I was a founding member of Art-O-Matic, an all-volunteer run arts exhibition featuring artists and performers from the Washington, DC area. I taught ceramics to all ages of people and taught summer arts programs for children. Eventually I found my way into nonprofit fundraising and greatly enjoyed a 20 year career working for advocacy, arts, and education non-profits. Today I am working as a full-time artist, parent, community volunteer, gardener, runner, crafter, and all-around bad-ass.
