I have been weaving baskets and teaching basket weaving for 15 years. As a military spouse of 23 years, I traveled around the world and studied the weaving styles and materials of many cultures and worked to incorporate those influences into my own craft. In recent years I began studying decorative artistry, specifically tole painting, and have enjoyed combining the two art forms by painting designs on basket lids, bases, handles and wide strips of wood woven into baskets. I have participated in arts and crafts shows in the United States and Europe; and most recently, after retiring from military life, I have concentrated on teaching and participating in shows throughout the state of Colorado.

All my baskets have a tung oil based finish, either natural or with an oak or walnut color.
