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 made it to the ACC Baltimore show. It was wonderful to see so many long time friends. and meet new ones. Back home now, I'm dreaming up new creatures to present at the Smithsonian Craft Show in April. My focus will be my sculptures. Please plan to come - the weather should definitely be more auspicious
