Jewelry, Block Prints and Pastels
While studying at Middlebury College I discovered printmaking. The creation of handmade multiples appealed to both my artistic and practical sensibilities. After college I read an article about Sabra Field in Vermont Life and it mentioned that she hired an assistant every year. I wrote to her, interviewed, and 6 months later I was working in her studio, learning about woodcuts and the business of art. After my two year apprenticeship, I went to U. Mass, Amherst, where I earned a masters degree in printmaking while focusing on lithography and teaching art to undergraduates.
Returning to Vermont, I continued teaching and making prints as well as waitressing to pay the bills. I started to make earrings and sold them to customers when they saw me wearing them in the restaurant. This began the jewelry business and thankfully ended my waitressing career.
I moved to Huntington 30 years ago and renovated an old barn next to my house which now serves as my studio. I divide my time between making woodcuts, jewelry and pastels which focus on the Vermont landscape and images from my travels.
