I explore the mysteries: human nature and spirit, birth and afterlife, devotion and dreams.

I respond to the tension between quiet nature and the industrial world, in the architecture of bones, birds, the human body.

I am inspired by the life I share with my husband Rich on the rural Olympic Peninsula.
