Store on the Corner - San Diego, CA
Description
I came from a very supportive, creative family. Both of my parents are gifted in many ways. No matter what room of the house I went into, I learned something. My dad was a prototypes engineer, who built model airplanes and banjos in his spare time. I learned woodworking and jewelry making from him. My mother knitted, crocheted, embroidered, painted, wrote short stories, sewed all of our clothes, cooked....you name it. I learned everything I could from her, though I leave the cooking up to my husband and daughter.
I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Merchandise and Design, with an AA in Fashion Design. I continue to be interested in craft and fine art, and I continue to experiment and learn. When people ask me how long something takes me to make, a say a lifetime, because everything we do is the sum of that experience.
I began my career in the Wearable Art field in 1986. My work has been shown in galleries and fashion shows throughout the world. I have been invited to participate in both the Fairfield Fashion Show and the Bernina Fashion Show. I have had my work included in these publications: The Costume Makers Art, The Button Lover's Craft Book, Michael's Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Visions a New Decade, to name a few.
