My fifty-year career as a Surface Design Artist, Colorist and Master Teaching Artist began with the artforms of traditional batik & silk batiking. I then continued by develop;ing my techniques of Complex Dyeing and Discharge with my Wearable Art designs including jackets, tunic dresses and shirts. In addition, my colorist’s eye was fascinated by Traditional Marbling using carrageenen and acrylics. I took the incricacies of marbling and applied the techniques and my designs to papers, cottons, silks and ceramic. Throughout my career, color and design create a fascinating palette of interest.
