Studio

My Studio

Mother Nature offers me my favorite studios– the everchanging ocean shores to the mountains forest. I am fortunate to have easy access to both.  After soaking in the essence of the beautiful landscapes, I then retreat to my dark green cottage nestled in Encinitas, California, on secluded stretch of rural land overlooking the lagoon. It’s a quiet haven where I teach classes, study and create art.  Everything about my retreat inspires creativity—from the ants who try to share the space to the ever-changing shifting light on the hillside.  The hand of Mother Nature is evident in all my work.

One of my passions is to help people get in touch with their creativity

Wire racks provide a method to help organize my collections of lace, photos, paper and stuff.  The work table with storage drawers for art supplies was created by mounting kitchen cupboards on a moveable platform.  I never have enough shelves for my numerous books and journals.  The bulletin board is filled with ideas and inspirations.

This is my library filled with inspirations, journals and resources
