I have been a textile designer since 1986. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst with a degree in fine art and textile design. With a background in screen-printing processes as well as hand-painted textiles, I have taught Studio Art in textile design at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst, the Seattle Art Museum, Washington, and the Cape Museum of Fine Arts, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. My exhibits include a Handmade Books Arts/Fiber show; a Conceptual Footwear exhibit on Cape Cod; several Painted Ponies exhibits at 5th St. Gallery and City Cellars as well as the annual Secret ArtWorks event, Cincinnati, OH; Europa Café and the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, KY and Momo's Food Emporium, East Sandwich, MA.

 "Foaling in Love" Acrylic on Paper NE Bradford
I moved away from the intensive textile world of handpainted and handprinted silk yardage for the apparel business, towards designing and producing one-of-a-kind tapestry handbags. Now I have come full circle ... focusing again on my painting ... Painted Ponies.
I layer color upon color, using the image of the horse as it is my belief that we are part horse/part human ... a strong connection between life and spirit ... a universal theme of liveliness, strength, beauty, and loyalty. |
