I have chosen to express my art in woven form. Through tapestry, painted and modified warp ikat, and dyed loom- controlled shibori, I am capable of making art for the wall, floor, or to wear.

I find weaving an endless outlet for my creativity. It is a source of study and investigation of this and other cultures. Study of Leno, open weave techniques, led me to study weaving by the ancient Peruvians. Investigation of ikat techniques used by Indonesians was a jumping-off place to "paint" silk warps for scarves. Most recent work has led me to study Japanese folded and stitched cloth. All the techniques involved in my quest for information influence the outcome of my daily work.

Subject matter and colors are a reflection of the natural surroundings in which I live, work and travel. The soft subtle seasonal changes of trees, reflections in water, and variety in the landscape influence my color selections.

I have actively contributed to the Weavers' Guild of Boston as a teacher and Guild President. I served as President of New England Weavers' Seminar, a four-day biannual conference for weavers held at Merrimack College.

By lecturing and teaching, I have taken a small role in furthering the education of weavers and hopefully have made people more aware of weaving as an art form. Sharing the excitement and knowledge with others is a satisfying part of the process.

Recently I have had numerous articles and work published in Handwoven magazine. Interweave press has also photographed shawls for their publications.

Commission work for churches, synagogues, and public spaces adds challenge to my life that I particularly enjoy.

My current production line is sold through Cambridge Artists' Cooperative, an award-winning craft gallery, Weavers' Guild of Boston, and numerous New England galleries.
