I am an economist who became interested in fiber arts after purchasing a farm in the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland. I raised sheep, goats, and alpacas while enhancing my skills in all aspects of animal husbandry, farming, and fiber arts. I attended a number of workshops locally, around the country, and abroad to enhance my knowledge of farming, weaving, felting, spinning, and dyeing wool. My interest in weaving has evolved over the years from weaving scarves, blankets, and rugs to tapestries. My goal is to create contemporary tapestries that inspire viewers while promoting spiritual and cultural connections between the East and West.
