Color has always been my passion, and from an early age I have loved working with fabric and fiber.

The rich tones of cotton embroidery floss, the vibrant hues of dyed wool roving, the colorful bolts of fabric in a quilt shop . . . these sights have always delighted me!

As a child I was always crafting, often with amusing results, from copying the cover art of a record album as an embroidery, to crocheting gladiator sandals out of cotton string.

In high school I took weaving, spinning, and natural dyeing classes at The Art Students League in NYC. I was fascinated by the transition of fleece into fiber, fiber into fabric, and fabric into a wide range of colors.

Over the years Iʼve done weaving, quilting, yarn spinning, felting, crochet, embroidery, macramė, and clothing upcycling, always enjoying the process of combining colors to make unique designs.

Now I marble fabric beside a river in southern Maine, with a view of a waterfall once used to power a textile mill.

Part of marblingʼs fascination lies in its fluid shapes, which evoke natural forms, variously reminiscent of rock, water, clouds, feathers, lightning, or tree branches. As with natureʼs designs, no print can be replicated exactly, and each one is utterly unique.

Marbling is also a perfect medium for exploring color, each print an opportunity to experiment with new hues and new color combinations.

Although centuries old, the art of marbling is full of new possibilities. By its very nature it is unpredictable, so itʼs a process that lends itself to experimentation, and I enjoy finding new ways of working with the materials to get new effects.

It is an art of endless possibility, and itʼs a pleasure to share it with you!
