When I create my works with fiber I am inspired by the rhythms and patterns found in nature... waves of water, the ebb and flow of surf on sand, the flutter of leaves on trees, the swish of clouds, multifaceted buds and flowers, the feathered wings of birds. No matter what materials I use, there is repetition as well as…

I remain fascinated by the many different forms I can create and continue to be informed by the patterns found in nature, as seen in water, in the…
This past fall my talented partner, Ed Ralston, pulled out drafting paper and pencil and we marshaled resources to construct a new structure on my property designed explicitly for one purpose: to serve as a gallery, to permanently display my various types of arts and crafts. This structure is positioned at a special spot on my property, which is more…
This spring I attended a class in marbling silk at Penland School of Crafts. It's something I had tried many years ago and wanted to swim back into again. I say swim because you start by mixing up a very specific gooey bath. You carefully dissolve methyl cellulose into the bath so that a viscous substance floats on the surface. After…
I recently finished a video about a fellow OCAG member who creates magnificent ceramic art pieces. We wanted to record a demonstration of her work in process, as well capture her thoughts about how she uses her minds eye to create pots that are either metaphysical or bio-geometric. (You’ll have to watch the video to find out how she conceptualizes…
