A Midwesterner who relocated to the deep south to take a teaching position, I have spent my life creating and teaching about Art.

My textiles have been shown all over the world, and I now am engaged in making work in a whole different visual language. After moving and renovating an old house, old wooden windows and chairs have become my raw material for artistic expression.

Whether in my former medium or my new, the work focuses on women and the ways they deal with their lives as they unfold. My symbolic woman is now a chair, supported and modified in relation to events. Think of scar tissue.

I have held teaching positions at Columbia College in Columbia, SC, a private women's college, Coker College in Hartsville, SC, a small liberal arts college, and at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College in Orangeburg, SC, a community college.

I have received one NEA Regional Grant in 1989-90.

I have received three South Carolina Arts Commission Fellowships in 1995-6, 1998-9, and 1982-3.

My undergraduate and graduate degrees are from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL.

I have exhibited in all parts of this country and overseas, and would be happy to provide details of these exhibitions to you.
