I have always loved the feel of fine leather and am intrigued by it as a sculptural medium. For me, creating mythic creatures from materials that have had a previous life is ultimately appropriate. I honor the stories embedded in the materials, be they leather, stone, old textiles, or beads, and honor the sources. May they encourage your sense of adventure and the creation and sharing of story.

A chill is in the air as we welcome autumn...and the opportunities to connect, create and share new work in Fall shows. New creatures are emerging in my studio. They look forward to greeting you at Roxbury Open Studios, Oct. 4,5 and in Northampton at the Paradise City Arts Festival Oct. 11-13. Let's remember, even in ugly times, it is important to savor wonder.
