After retirement, I spent a year traveling around the U.S. and Canada. I was compelled to create an art installation that celebrated both that journey and my beloved VW camper, Turtle. I created art quilts that hung around the outside and inside of the van that told the story. It was widely exhibited including at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Expo, and in several magazines. I have exhibited my fiber art in seven states.

After being an Early Childhood teacher for 40 years, I began taking classes in fiber art. Twenty years later I still find new techniques and new approaches to using fabric to be challenging and satisfying.

My current art centers around my passion for Mother Earth. After marching in the People’s Climate March with 400,000 people in New York City in 2014, I was inspired to put the care of the planet as the most important contribution I could make with my art. In addition, the discoveries being made in science at this time open endless possibilities for many new series. Do I ever run out of ideas? Never!
