A graduate of the University of Washington, my interest in art began when I took a class in Design at Everett  Community College from art instructor Russell Day.  It opened a whole new world for me where the  assignments were exciting and the class discussion was stimulating.  At the same time, I was married and had four small children so I took one class a quarter.  Eventually I had my own studio in 1970 where I taught  knotting and coiled basketry.  I continued through the years to draw, paint, assemble, knot, sew, cut and  sculpt in various media. I'm a member of several basketry organizations, Friends of Fiber Art International,  Lambda Rho, a University of  Washington art honorary, Northwest Designer Craftsmen and 2003 Artist of  the Year for Snohomish County, Washington.
