Fiber/Textiles

All my work is created from wire and wool. I start with a self made wire armature that I then wrap with wool roving. I then use wool that I have dyed myself and create different creatures from sheep to mice to cats to dogs. I also create Santas, lighted Christmas scenes. My work is pretty much self taught and I have been creating for over 30 years. I also try to use other natural materials for accents such as allspice, dried flowers, etc. My work has been featured in several museums over the years, many magazines and news articles.
