"Growing
up
observing
my
father's
wood-working
skills
and
learning
to sew
from my
seamstress
mother,
I came
by my
crafting
abilities
naturally.
They
instilled
a love
of
texture
and the
value of
something
being
hand-made
and
functional.
I'm
grateful
to have
the
ability
to
follow
my
passion
as a
full-time
American
fiber
artist.

"My
knitting
addiction
began
first
with the
yarns
themselves,
the more
brightly
colored
the
better,
and grew
from
there. I
did not
come
from a
family
of
knitters,
nor were
any of
my
friends
or
co-workers
knitters,
so in
the
absence
of any
knitting
role
models,
I at
first
indulged
my yen
for yarn
(and
yarn
stash-building)
mostly
with
needlework
projects."

"I
learned
to weave
at the
University
of
Washington
40 some
years
ago. I
took a
degree
in
General
Art and
it was
the
looms
that
fascinated
me the
most. After
moving
to
Waldron
island
in the
70's and
needing
to
figure
out to
make an
income
from
such an
isolated
place I
started
weaving
seriously
to
sell.
My fiber
arts
products
are an
addition to
the main
income
from our
farm of
organic
vegetables
and I
sell
both at
the
Farmers
Market
in
Friday
Harbor"
