Many artists have been inspired by the continent of Africa and I am no exception. Africa has a way of never letting go. The bold colors, texture and rhythm of design of the people of Africa combined with natural and discovered objects are part of my work.

The whimsy of childhood, the excitement of travel and the surprises of everyday life are the soul of the masks and pins.

They tell my story.

In creating these fiber and tapestry masks and 3-dimensional pins, I strive to take the work from ordinary to extra ordinary.
