About

Wet felted wall panels and sculptural vessels with a natural flair. It’s the natural, organic, elemental shapes and shades around me that bring me the most happiness. Here in Eastern Canada, we have the beautiful shades of the Atlantic – the blues, blacks and greens that are so familiar, yet can be so cold and mysterious. And our coastline with the crisp blue sky, white lighthouses, the sand, the rocks and the sea glass speak to the strength and resilience of nature. And of course, our fall colors beckon travellers from all over the world. The materials I choose for my pieces are also indicative of our East Coast attitude. While I cover some of my work with beautiful soft Italian Merino, the base and foundation of all of my pieces start with Icelandic, Finn, Gottland or Norwegian – all hardy breeds known for their strength and warmth.

From my seascape wall hangings to my mosaic work with coppers and oranges, all the colors of my world are represented. Strength, warmth, color, emotion – the East Coast is always a part of every piece I create. In fact, it’s my wish that as they leave my care and go to their ‘forever homes’, that they evoke the East Coast feeling in whatever corner of the world they land.
