A transplant to Wisconsin, after 30 years in the Appalachian Mountains, I have grown to love the big open skies and fields of the prairies.  My newest work is a response to the light, the expansive horizons and the rich color subtleties in the prairies around me. Living on a prairie marsh supplies me with a complex color palette. 

My textile pieces suggest this open countryside and their construction serves as my reminder to be contemplative and appreciate the simple beauty around me.
