Welcome to my website
where you may see my paintings, learn about the batik / rozome process, and perhaps join me for classes in silk painting, batik, or rozome.   

Artist's Statement

I started as a painter and art historian.
In 1980 I discovered batik, after working as a textile research associate at the Museum of International Folk Art for ten years. Batik combined my love for textiles with my training as a painter.

Water is a recurring theme for me;
living in the desert Southwest
I'm aware of every drop that falls, flows
or evaporates anywhere nearby.

I believe we should live lightly on this earth
in absolute awe of its magnificence.

I hope this comes through in my work.
