My process begins with hunting and gathering.  I lose myself meandering through antique stores, flea markets, thrift stores and junkyards.   An item strikes my curiosity, intrigues my imagination and I take it home.  I’m most drawn to pieces that show wear and tear.  The patina that comes from use in everyday life has an energy that is honest, unapologetic and beautiful.

Once home, I allow my gaze to wander over my collection of “stuff” and my intuition joins disparate items together.  In the tradition of my mother and grandmother, I often “make do” with what materials I have on hand.  I see the objects as form, not the function for which they were intended.  Sometimes the creation is simply pleasing to my senses but often it reveals an unexpected message.  These revelations may be whimsical, poignant or mystical.  Creation of my wabi sabi wonderments is an adventure that is healing and revitalizing.
