I am an artist specializing in batik, currently living and working in Olympia, WA . For over 30  years I have been creating batiks using traditional methods and tools, locally sourced beeswax, fiber reactive and natural dyes on cotton fabric. The narrative batiks are expressions of experiences from my own life while  imagery, patterns, symbols, and faceless stick figures invite the viewer to bring their own stories into each creation with the hopes of sparking conversation and connection. The past few years I have worked with a focus on connecting with ancestors and the ways communities grow together. I travel the country exhibiting my work, and when home can be found in the studio and garden and with my grandbabies
