Here's my installation "Ever After" at Aurora Loop Gallery in Port Townsend, WA . Opening event is 3/1, 5-8pm.
The miniature skyline is made out of plastic, wood and paper detritus - gears from discarded printers, packaging, even ping pong balls, contact lens storage containers and Covid tests.

On Sunday, I finished making 80 feet of this miniature skyline for an installation at the Aurora Loop Gallery. Monday, I slipped on a muddy trail and broke my wrist.
Great timing, yes?

I've sewn 100 canvas rabbits for an upcoming installation. Here's the view of them from outside my studio looking in.

I like adding typewritten text to my art. Now I can work on big sheets of paper. Behold, my new typewriter with a 24" carriage!

I used kraft paper from my local paper mill to make these dresses and boots and sewed them on my 1940s Pfaff sewing machine. The pattern is inspired by dresses worn by factory workers. This is from my show at the Jefferson Museum of Art and History in Port Townsend, Washington.

"Footprints", kraft paper, packaging twine, textbook pages, wood, thread and ink.
I made a series of these life-size paper boots. The inside lining is from a 1960s conservation text book and quotes on the toes are from Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac".
