Igrew up on the edge of a patch of woods in Vermont. As a young girl, I would wander around the woods, pick wildflowers from ditches and collect rocks that I would put in a shoebox to tuck under my bed. I pretended that I could talk to the animals, dress my dog up in clothes, and strain my head toward the moon if I was lucky enough to have it shine down on my pillow. I was a Nature Child. I belonged to the Earth and the Earth belonged to me. I am now in the middle years of my life. I have traveled down many different educational paths and professions. Some of it was rewarding, but much of it was not. I veered off the path for a while, but I am finding my way back. I am rediscovering the joy of nature and how it speaks to me through my work. I am a plaster, glass and textile artist, but primarily I create botanical bas reliefs. It is a process that involves clay and flora to create a template upon which plaster is poured resulting in a reverse image. I will typically use natural mineral pigments acquired from around the world to wash the front. This helps to bring out the details of the plants as well as add a touch of color. For this panel, I decided to leave it neutral to reflect a hint of something past, to the age of my innocence.

My work is ethereal and fragile. It is the manifestation of a personal conversation that I have with plants. I am a self-taught artist on a never-ending journey to express something that is true and of beauty, that will speak to your heart and bring the spirit of nature into your home.
