I was born in Missouri, educated in California and Kansas and currently have a studio in Belmont,California. My father was an amateur artist and art was a constant part of my childhood. I have studied many mediums: painting, jewelry, and ceramics. When I started creating sculpture, I began with clay and went on into stone sculpture in 1973. I have studied with seven acclaimed stone sculptures over an eleven year period. Feminine and masculine energy are reflected in my work. My sculptures, whether figurative or abstract, incorporate nature, Goddess beleifs, dreams, feminine issues, and humor in the various spiritual and psychological journeys. I have authered a book titled: "Being Creators of Sculpture", which is used as a manual in many classes.
