My desire to connect and communicate drives my art and the concern I feel for our planet draws me to be part of the Emerald Curtain Collective. I enjoy sculpting masks of key species that help educate others about our unique ecosystems.
I’ve lived on the Oregon coast for most of my life and navigated a sea of careers since graduating with a Soil Science degree from OSU in 1980. Retiring as a high school librarian in 2020, I’ve been a full-time artist ever since, diving into the riptide I’ve waded in for over 40 years. My marine biologist husband, Dave and I have 2 amazing children, 3 unruly dogs, and live on a swamp between Newport and Toledo.
