When I left Kansas for New York a friend’s child asked me if things in Kansas were really black and white. That was insightful. I spent 30 colorful and creative years in New York City. Weaving and knitting became my passion.  My studio was a uniquely creative environment.  We produced handwoven coats and sweaters for Mary McFadden and Michael Vollbracht as well as our own label.  Once we wove fabrics for a client’s airplane.  We produced a tapestry for the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. My work was in VOGUE and HARPERS BAZAAR where I had a cover. 

When Vollbracht lost his funding from Johnny and Joanna Carson we published a book of his portraits entitled NOTHING SACRED.  I then went on to work for my customers, Elizabeth Taylor and Cher. 

Following New York, we moved to a small coastal town in South Carolina where I began a 10 year career as a mosaic artist. I did sculptural and framed pieces along with some mixed media with whimsical themes.  Later in Texas I began to work with fiber again.  My work is based on a technique of coiling;  wrapping silks, wools and handmade papers over a central cord.  The move from fashion to interiors has perhaps been the most fulfilling of my career.
