Biography



I was born and raised in Sandusky, Ohio within view of Johnson's Island Lake Erie's Sandusky Bay. I am intrigued how making marks with needle and thread can be both art and poetry, contemplative and dangerous (think needles piercing flesh), and a way to envelop revered objects, thoughts and words.  

I have spent my life honing my skill set in sewing, knitting, weaving, and embroidery to get to where I am today as a woman who makes visual poetry and visual art.   There are many women before me who have been erased, minimized or discounted.  There are many more now that are being recognized and there will be many more in the future riding on the shoulders of those that came before.
