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.

Thank you to all who were able to make it to the Paradise City Arts Festival over Memorial Day Weekend. Joy and inspiration were everywhere - in the art and in interactions with everyone! May your summer be energizing and filled with wonder. I'm looking forward to seeing what new creatures will show up in the studio!
