My work is a blend of cultures, traditions, and technical skills. After spending years asking questions about culture and tradition and how to represent them in my art, I began the pursuit of learning traditional European weaving techniques and materials. I have worked with basket makers from around the United States, Ireland, Spain, and Denmark. I have also pilgrimaged to Ireland, working with Joe Hogan, a traditional Irish basket maker turned modern artist, followed by an arts residency at Shankill Castle in Kilkenny, IE. During my most recent journey, in May 2025, I worked on willow basketry with Anne Liebmann in Edinburgh.I am exploring the blending of modern and traditional techniques with locally sourced materials as they apply to art basketry in an introspection of how I defines my relationship to community and place. It’s not unusual to find me beach combing for driftwood and interesting rocks, or into the forest to collect grasses, tree barks, antlers, and rushes.I have been awarded the 2025 McKnight Fiber Artists Fellowship, Creative Individuals Grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board (2021, 2023) Arts Education Grants (2024, 2025, 2026), a Region 2 Arts Council Fellowship (2018) and Shankill Castle Artist-in-Residence (2018). I have exhibited work at Armory Arts & Event Center, Park Rapids, MN; MacRostie Art Center, Grand Rapids, MN; Watermark Art Center, Bemidji, MN, and Textile Center, Minneapolis (2026)." } ] } ] ```
