Artist Statement

A descriptive phrase for expressing my state of being as I work at peace and with respect for the art of handmade papermaking.

I am a graduate of the University of Delaware with a B.A. in art education. The focus of my career has been teaching art. Creating handmade paper has been my avocation for 10 years. It is a peaceful process from inception to completion. I create the medium in which I work and work with the medium I create. The quintessential creative experience.

I have been honored to feature my work at the following venues:
Hotel Dupont Gift Shoppe
Michael Christopher Design
Hagley Museum Craft Fair 2001-2004
GrassRoots Handicrafts
Craft Connection
Rehoboth Art League

Community interest extend to the arts and environment. I serve on the Winterthur Museum PACE teachers Advisory committee. I have also done handmade paper demonstrations for Winterthur Museum and Lewes Historical Society. Currently I am a museum educator for the New Castle Historical Society.
