Tomorrow you'll be brave, you say? Fool! Dive today
From the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
You fear the rocks? Better men than you have died on them;
Dying on Love's rocks is nobler than a life of death.
--Jalal-ud-Din Rumi, 13th century mystic & poet
trans. by Andrew Harvey
"What's Next?", a series of 5 bowl shapes forming a large question mark, asks the obvious: what's your next journey, where will it take you, do you have a map, do you dare take a leap and go? This piece was created with old National Geographic maps. The map legends are on the back of each piece.
Exhibited June 29, 2007 - August 4, 2007, "Maps and Journeys", Studio Place Arts, Barre, VT.
Canyonlands: Daybreak, Afternoon Thunder, and Sunset, 2007

This series of 3 paper bowls was inspired by early Navajo weavings, and one rug in particular which is hanging in my studio. The series is intended as a wall hanging, either vertically or horizontally, but each bowl has a foot so can also be displayed on a flat surface.
Exhibited August 14 - September 22, 2007, "Paint the Gallery Red", Studio Place Arts Gallery, Barre, VT.
December 8 - 23, 2007, "Showcase", Dianne Shullenberger Gallery, Jericho, VT.
Cactus with Hat, 2006
basalt stone, waxed linen 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" x 4"h $650I grew up in New Mexico surrounded by incredibly varied cultures and landforms. "Cactus with Hat" refers to the many barrel cactus forms found in the area, the desert green color most apparent after a rain. The black basalt rocks are a reminder of the rich volcanic history clearly visible in the landscape. The hat, of course, is a western necessity.
Exhibited June 16, 2007 through July 14, 2007, "Basketry as an Art Form," Bascom-Louise Gallery at the Fine Art Center, Highlands, North Carolina.
October 3 - November 1, 2006, "Smaller Than A Breadbox", Shelburne Art Center, Shelburne, VT.
