Artist Statement
Time outdoors, archaeology and pop culture influence and inspire me. I often exhibit in and curate thematic, multimedia or feminist shows. My goal as an artist/teacher is to enhance the skills, creativity and invention that expand every area of our lives.
Music
I performed in Irish bands for many years, play traditional British Isles and other Celtic music - guitar, concertina, banjo and the usual instruments one picks up after hanging out in enough sessions. I built my own banjo in the 70s and have enjoyed it ever since.
