I am a fiber artist and painter. I am inspired by the beautiful colors found in nature in the PA Wilds. I was taught to knit by my mother. To me, knitting is soothing as well as exciting. I enjoy taking a strand of yarn and watching it develop into a completed items, felted and otherwise. Olga Snyder has become a mentor. She has inspired my color selections and use of different fibers. My painting began a few years ago. I continue to learn and expand my skills. I like to repurpose items and believe art should be enjoyed and useable.
