Artist Statement: I enjoy creating finished projects from raw materials, whether they be reed, fabric, yarn or garden seeds. Creating and working with my hands is relaxing. The creation of one project leads to another idea, which leads to another idea, etc. Finished projects are the great reward.
Iʼm an avid gardener, basket weaver, birder, and grandma who juggles these passions with part-time work in the laboratory at the Elkader hospital. I share a love of the outdoors with my husband, Larry, a photographer and journalist, and am chief editor for his freelance nature writing. I can often be found playing in the dirt with four grandkids at our acreage near Elkader.
