Bio
I marvel at how life unfolds sometimes and how great things can sneak up and surprise you. I have been an artist/designer of one sort or another since childhood. While in my early 20’s, I studied Interior Design in San Francisco. Inspired by the fabulous patterns of William Morris and the Arts and Craft movement and the lush and opulent fabrics produced by Mario Fortuny, I developed a keen interest in textiles and fabric design.The other great artistic pursuit of my life has been photography. and I have been working full time as an outdoor adventure and nature photographer for a number of years. Now, to my delight, both passions have come together in perfect harmony! A chance comment by a friend led me to expand my exploration of creating patterns from my photographs. I had a show of my patterned images at a the Grand Bohemian Gallery in Savannah GA and one comment a number of folks made was that my patterns would look great on fabric. It didn't take much more than that to realize that I had found my true calling!
