Like many coast residents, I am a beach comber. I can't resist picking up
interesting sculpted driftwood, shells, abalone shards, smoothed glass,
dried kelp heads. I fill my studio with these natural treasures. Initially
I
made the 'Kelp People', figurative wall hangings. They are pairs - one
male,
one female ...anatomically correct under their skirts for the fun of it!
I'd say these coastal creations are contemporary folk art. Some are
natural,
some are painted. Later I created mermaids, driftwood angels and most
recently, the 'Rare and Endangered' series. These unusual creatures are
mythic animals, very full of themselves.
When you visit my studio you will walk through my garden, a 25 year
project
of flowers, fruit and vegetable edibles. It's perhaps my most ambitious
work of art. I look forward to welcoming you to my world.
