I have written in many types of formats – academic, informational, and fictional.

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.

(I’ve been listening to many of Brené Brown’s podcasts lately.) I’m…
As predicted By me The Tucson Unified School District Once again Ditched their plans For hybrid learning Days before the start. I am glad that they changed Their plans. What I don’t understand Is why they insist on Pursuing this course of action In obviously unsafe times.
My brain has been restless. I’ve been up. I’ve been down. I thought my brother had Covid. I found out he doesn’t. I was looking forward to Halloween. Then my son got sick. His fever was gone yesterday and his appetite seems normal today and we’re still going to the doctor later today.
In the car Trying to explain to my son How this country was founded. Christopher Columbus, Disease, slavery Puritans – the religious nuts Too crazy to stay in England. Blankets infected with smallpox Given as gifts of death. And guns, guns, guns. I hate driving.
