A reflection and peek into my past as my family came together to make handmade things… Often I remember the many artful projects that would draw us in. My mother would be making something… my siblings and I would become a part of this without even knowing. These are the wonderful memories that have lent inspiration to becoming the basket-maker I am.

My goals are simple; to make handmade baskets that will one day become family heirlooms. Each basket is a new adventure and a dream come true. Like an unfinished book I am anxious and full of inspiration. I am ready to learn.

Each one of my baskets has a part of me added to them. Besides for my family I am also passionate about beaches and sunshine. Having the sun shine on my face makes me feel alive and seeing the beauty of the ocean and all it's living things brings a smile to my face...and so I add a shimmering blue fish to each of my baskets so that everyone might get some joy out of something I love so much.
