Artist Statement:
Almost 40 years have gone by since I was first introduced to the world of basketry and now, I see the world through the eyes of a basket maker. For me, repetition was a great teacher – at times, a taskmaster – and I made and sold baskets for many years. My years of production weaving are past, but I still have a basket in my hands most days, either designing, dyeing, making or getting ready to teach a class. From traditional rib work to sculptural work, I am in the zone. Basketry is my familiar world and I am most thankful for that!
