I examine change and connection in my art. I often notice that connection is directly related to change.
About Me
I create in watercolor batik on rice paper. Layers of hot wax and paint are applied to very fine rice paper. The painting is crumpled and gets yet another coat of paint. Then, the wax is all removed. The batik process is change. It is unpredictable, messy and fascinating!

Fun Facts
Charcutier-I've made my own yak bacon!
Kitchen Wizard- I can make perfect cream puffs, can jellies, and make bread from scratch. Just don't ask me to make rice krispy treats! Those I can't make.
Dog Toy Maker- I grow the best carrots! And our dog delights in digging them up, tossing them around and then finally munching them down.
Conquerer of Fears - I once repelled into a cenote in the Yucatan, and I'm afraid of swimming in deep water, and heights!
Bird Whisperer- or should I say whistler? I like to think I can communicate with birds.
