Artist Statement

After receiving my doctorate in botany from The Ohio State University in 1969, I spent over 30 years as a botany and microbiology professor and academic administrator in Ohio, New York, and Vermont. I retired from my position as Provost and Dean of Lake Erie College in 2003, and began a new and creative endeavor as a fiber artist in 2004.

My art passion involves the juxtaposition of textures and colors in the creation of my artwork. I find it exciting to combine a variety of colors and textures to form three-dimensional pieces. Many of my designs remind me of the beauty of nature.
