about the artist

Since returning home from Austria
with a family in tow, I understand my connectedness with life
and the importance of all living things:
the waterway system of creeks, rivers and oceans, the soil, the trees, the air,
As a creature of this earth, my connectedness is to all other creatures and our habitat.

I make beads because it’s my ‘thing’, making is my thing.
It’s me, being me.
Vulnerability is the courage to be one’s self.
I am sure the world would look very different, breathe differently,
if we humans were being vulnerable, beingour true selves.
The unique individual as part of the whole. The whole Earth system.

I see a rebirth of the artisans’ skills,
the slow, handmade, local product.
A slowing down of consumption
and a deep appreciation of art in everyday life.
