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.

This holiday week when friends and family gather, I make a point to count my many blessings - high among them meeting and interacting with so many amazing people on my journey as an artist. My dragons and I are flying back to NYC for the Crafts at the Cathedral show Dec. 5-7. We look forward to being back in that peaceful and inspiring setting. Hope to see you there!
