...a journey of What To Create? As I started listening, and looking, from a new perspective, I discovered that, just like when my mom told me not to listen to everything other people told me, not all ideas an artist hears are good ones! But when I am buried deep in the process of creating, sometimes I have no idea whether or not the idea is good… I just have to create, and wait to see the end result, and hope that it will answer the question.

I grew up as a highly imaginative only child, and the fourth generation in a ranching family on the eastern plains of Colorado. I graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art in 1990 and moved to San Francisco to pursue a commercial photography career. When I was thoroughly done with big city life several years later, I moved to Davis, California and worked at the UC Davis Craft Center, managing the ceramics and photography labs there. While there, I was sidetracked from photography by clay, glass, quilting, and a number of other media. I moved with my husband and daughter in June of 2005 to Steamboat Springs and am very happy to be “home”, and also to be in such a rich, diverse and inspirational artistic environment.
