The cultural and historical role of wool fiber and its creative possibilities fascinate me.

As a fiber artist, I am captivated by and immersed in all aspects of wool production: shearing the sheep, preparing the fleeces, and spinning, dying, and knitting the yarn into richly textured and colored garments.

In my Montana studio, I replicate the subtle color palettes and textures of pine forest, soaring rocky cliffs and the expanses of the plains in my yarns, spinning fibers and art garments.

I revel in taking the slow lane: creating the special colors, spinning a special yarn and creating unique garments that will honor and last for the ages.
