In the artist’s words: As a basket artist, I truly enjoy the experience of creating original and diverse pieces. Baskets are more than ‘just baskets’, they are timeless vessels that have survived through the ages and are a part of our history. Some of the baskets that I design are utilitarian, but I also create unique and decorative works. I feel that my baskets speak to the right person and find a place in their heart. My baskets are in many personal collections locally and nationwide.
