Artist Statement

I am a registered nurse practitioner by profession. I was taught to knit and crochet as a young girl by an older cousin. I am also a skilled seamstress making my younger daughter’s wedding gown.

My interest in crocheting and knitting was renewed several years ago when our church began conducting an annual craft fair. I made a number of scarves for the event and have been “hooked” ever since. I participate in a few craft shows and a small Christmas holiday shop each year.

I enjoy expanding my creative horizons to make new and more interesting items as my skills continue to develop. I also like to work with unique yarns and incorporate natural fibers, such as pure wool, mohair and alpaca into my scarves. My husband and I have a small travel trailer and spend a significant amount of time on the road. This gives me an excellent exposure to a wide variety of yarns from across the country.
