I started out designing and making hand loomed knitwear, and teaching others how to do it. Over the years I branched out, designing and painting clothing and shoes. Now I’m also creating items for the home, including clocks, lamps, and other wood furnishings. My work reflects my light-hearted practicality and love of color. 

I have a home studio in Frederick, Maryland. My husband and business manager, Peter, is very tolerant of my taking over the house! When I'm not busy knitting, sewing, creating buttons and home accessories, dyeing fabric and coming up with new design ideas, I'm usually playing with or walking in Baker Park with my lovable Bearded Collie, Annabelle and Westie, Zoe. Leslie and Jason, my two adult children, have made Peter and I empty nesters. Jason resides in Virginia, working hard at his sales position. Leslie has, more or less, taken after her mother and is currently employed by a large corporation in designing retail store space, and recently made us grandparents.
