I am an artist/craftsperson living in Los Osos on California's central coast. I have been making things for as long as I can remember, beginning with receiving a knitting kit when I was 6 years old. After graduating with a Certificate in Fine Arts from Parson's School of Design in New York City, I embarked on a career as a freelance film editor in documentaries and television. Throughout my professional career I have also pursued artistic expression in a variety of media: painting, pastel, weaving, basket making, quilt making, photography and garden design.
