​Utilitarian and decorative baskets
Biography: I have always been interested in fibers. As a child, my mother taught me how to knit and crotchet, as well as embroider.            I learned to sew and made most of my children’s clothes.  After retirement, I had more time to pursue my interests. I naturally renewed my love affair with fibers. I made my first basket nineteen years ago. I have studied with numerous teachers both locally and at the John C. Campbell School, Arrowmont, Peter’s Valley, Haystack and Penland. I am a member of the North Carolina Basket Association  and the Chapel Hill Basketry Guild. My work appeared in the Chapel Hill Museum, the Durham Art Council and I also had a solo show at the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.


Artist Statement: I weave with reed, ash, cedar, paper and metal. The end products may be utilitarian ( a market basket), decorative disguised as utilitarian ( a paper basket) or purely decorative. In order to achieve commercial success a weaver usually has to conventrate in a single field to achieve technical mastery and build up an identifiable style. I have, thus far, resisted that impulse toward specialization. Instead, I have enjoyed exploring the different materials; the different techniques; and the play between utility and decorative.
