"I have lived in Northern Vermont for nearly all of my life and find it an incredibly beautiful place to live. As a farmer and mother of young children, I cherish the time I find to paint, but everyday I am appreciating all that surrounds me. I spend a lot of time caring for animals, watching them is part of my job, so I find them great subjects for painting and drawing. I love the potential of watercolor. In my work, I try to let the paint maintain its vibrancy and life as I work to portray the beauty of Vermont...And while I enjoy painting...I DETEST writing my artist statement and marketing myself in any way!"

"This month my inspiration for my new designs are men's suits. I have made a collection of bags from 'preloved' wool suits. Using pockets, lapels and cuffs, unique one-of-a-kind bags have emerged! I am also featuring my new line of handmade clay buttons such as the winterberry collection and the pressed leaf design. I am looing forward to sharing my new work with you."
