"I began my weaving journey over 40 years ago by taking two years of classes at the Rhode Island School of Design. After this in-depth introduction, I continued with both self-teaching and

workshops with inspiring teachers. I began selling my work in 1994 through the League and at other fine galleries in New England. My fascination with weave structures has continued over the last 4 decades as there is always something new to try on the fiber horizon."
