Paper as paint.
Living in a place of great beauty, inspires many. I am no exception. As part of this natural world, I feel I owe a debt of gratitude that includes giving a second or third life to everyday objects—be they clothing, furniture, construction materials, or leftovers from the refrigerator.
Life is in the details. The use of texture and layering is integral part to building a work of art that will continue to peak the interest of the viewer time after time.

Origins of paper play
I play with scraps of paper—harkening back to the time in childhood when I would wait for my mother’s monthly McCalls magazine. Upon arrival I would immediately look at my mom with a child’s longing, until she would turn to the “Betsy McCall” page, a monthly paper doll with several accompanying costumes. This became the center of my winter activity, constructing the supporting accoutrements- –furniture and gardens—for my little Betsy McCall.Sixty years later, I have rediscovered the magic of paper…and the way it continues to fascinate.
