Time moves on and styles change, traditions evolve and fade away; but a good chair or basket can last for generations.

CHAIRS

I saved my first chair, a woman's Lincoln rocker, in 1975.  I've been weaving customers' chairs for about 10 years.  One of my customers once said I'm saving America one chair at a time.   

I work with pressed cane, standard and fancy hand cane; Danish cord; natural hand twisted, pre twisted, and fibre rush; Shaker tape and splint in various patterns; as well as wicker repairs.

BASKETS

I weave baskets to explore the elements of form, function, color and texture. Throughout time baskets have been made of available materials; and therefore I incorporate today's materials into my baskets. 

I am not seeking to mass produce nice baskets.  I want to create interesting, unusual yet familiar, perhaps funky, perhaps beautiful baskets that are a pleasure to look at, to touch, and to use.  

Each is unique, signed and dated.
