After a productive life as a weaver of contemporary basket sculptures, I fell down the rabbit hole of soft pastels. I've long wandered the outdoors looking for unusual branches and materials I could use in my weaving. Now I look for the sweet spot in those same landscapes. To discern the edges, snippets and thresholds, the way things connect, the branch to the tree, the tree to the creek side, where light dances with shadow over the texture of all these interwoven forms; that's the prize that inspires. I feel I've come home to myself.
