I am inspired by the beauty and simple elegance of nature.  My hope is to express and share that inspiration through my work. 

       I use all free-range deer and elk leathers to create a variety of accessories for men and women. 

        My introduction to leatherworking was in 1988 when I began working with my aunt making sheathes for a knife maker.  I took a basic leather class in college but my Aunt Karen has been my main teacher, and the rest has been self-taught.  I began my career in 1996 when I joined a craft co-op, Hands Gallery, and began doing shows.

        My work is still available through Hands in Boone and I do a number of shows throughout the year. 

I live in beautiful Boone, NC, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains with my precious daughter, Juliet.  I work out of my shop at home, and on the front porch whenever its sunny!

I will be a visiting artist in the Weaverville Art Safari on April 26 and 27th and then

LEAF...Lake Eden Arts Festival in Black Mountain  May 9-11
