From the moment I could hold a paintbrush or a crayon, I have been drawn to creative expression. My earliest memories are of weaving potholders, painting with watercolors, writing myself little notes about the characters in books I was reading. 

From crochet and knitting, to jewelry making, to ribbon embroidery, to latch hook rugs, even a fairly serious early foray into classical bassoon performance, I have dabbled in almost every art or craft under the sun in my lifetime.

​

Above all, it is so clear to me that I am a writer, a painter, and a fiber artist.

​

These three avocations that I pursued as a child, with the most freedom and joy, these three I always return to. The color and texture are what draw me in,

from acrylic paint to a boucle yarn to a wry turn of phrase.

​

My career as an academic librarian has given me the opportunity to do a lot of writing, editing, and publishing, but my heart is always called into other more creative realms as an author.  I am here, ready to pull all my words out of the drawers where they’ve been hiding, ready to live into my complete and calling voice.

Thank you for joining me here.
