I have always loved bas-relief or "wall hung sculpture". I started casting in sand molds. I bent wire coat hangars and covered armatures with cheap paper mache. I learned stained glass using bits from old discarded church windows. I worked at the Seward Park Art Studio in Seattle in hand-built ceramic stoneware. I built a dozen 3' square stained glass windows for the Bellevue Congregational Church, refashioning children's tissue-paper creations into permanent form. Recently I have studied with a midwest artist at the Grunewald Guild in Leavenworth each summer in foam armature work covered with clay-paper reliefs, an adaptation of the traditional paper-crafters medium. And with that, back to color finishes.

My gardening design has led me into fantasy gate and trellis creations, and scarecrows. My recent connections with Burning Man have moved me into Body Art and costume making. I have done theater sets, built children's playgrounds, done landscape design for Bellevue's Hilton Hotel, and garden design at EarthSpirit Circle and in private gardens in Seattle and Anacortes.
