Instructors – Past Seasons

So much of life is a dance of artistic expression and I’m loving exploring it in the art of Pine needle basketry. I first learned this art at the foot of Hattie Olsen at the Fiber Arts Studio. Her gentle spirit is still touching me as I teach this beautiful art form to others.

As an interdisciplinary artist I use the artistic process to explore the ways in which generalizations are prioritized as ways of knowing about the world. Specifically, I am intrigued by our persistent tendencies to make assumptions about each other’s life situations.
