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 everyone who dropped by Roxbury Open Studios and the Paradise City Arts Festival these past two weekends. . It was wonderful to gather in community and celebrate creativity and spirit. In these distressing times, savoring every chance to see beauty and joy is essential to provide energy to be able to "hold on", act, and speak up. See you in the streets..... (and in New York City for my Nov.and Dec. shows there..) Onward!!!
