"A lifetime appreciation for traditional handcrafts and my passion for being outside in nature or in my garden has inspired me to take up willow work & basketry.

I truly love creating three dimensional pieces that are meant to be enjoyed through practical everyday use and I greatly admire the texture, shape, and varying colors that this natural and sustainable material has to offer, it really is a joy to work with!

This year I've been playing and experimenting learning new weaving techniques, as well as incorporating willow bark and other natural materials into my pieces.

Baskets, garden-ware, trays, shopping bags, etc."
