Her early childhood years were enchanted by her father’s workshop in which he made wondrous things from wood. He was a master craftsman and a contractor in the building trades as his father before him.
Small wooden pieces of wood became
elements she constructed into magical images she read about in her fairy tale
books. These small works became her inner way to communicate with the world
around her.
Her education was completed in 1975 after
her children were in school, and she taught school emphasizing the arts in all forms to the children in her
classes.
Whittier

Her early training in the elements of
sculpture making was under the guidance of master acrylic sculptor Bijan Bahar.

Artist
Statement
“A
lasting love affair with the images of Henry Moore, and Rodin are my guiding
truth. Both sculptors had their own unique genre, and both were true unto their
inner drummer.
Finding
Bronze was my doorway to the visions always there in my heart. The strength of
bronze gave birth to forms and connected them to the silver strands that drift
down through time which become blended into my own visions of time and human
awareness. The Sea is the underlying web that holds this world of desires
together, and the bronze makes it possible”.
