I have written in many types of formats – academic, informational, and fictional.
I once wrote a rhyming play about the summer reading program where I worked and performed it with a coworker and puppets to an elementary school. The kids loved it.
My portfolio can be found here.
I weave tapestries and baskets made from discarded wires and often use repurposed items and upcycled textiles in my work. I also weave belts on an inkle loom, triangles on a triangle loom, and am learning some other looms.
I offer local personalized instruction on tapestry and inkle looms for those in the Tucson area. Please contact me here if you are interested.
Stay in the loop with current projects.

Our “Wookie under a Cookie” video was posted! It’s about 4 minutes of fun created for kids ages 2-4, but hopefully kids of all ages will enjoy it. May the force be with you.
It’s that time of the year when the veils are thin between the Otherworlds and ours. Expect strange synchronicities, sudden coincidences, or unusual happenings. Maybe breakthrough communications? I’m not a religious person. I am a spiritual person. If I had to name my spirituality, it would be Celtic Pagan Star Wars.
So there’s this moment of time At the end of the night Where the cat sits on my chest And purrs Her deep, rumbly purrs And flicks her sleek, smooth tail Against my arm. My eyes close And I feel so calm And so at peace. That’s what I’m missing from my day. That peace.…
