Pine Needle Artist
I create coiled art from long-leaf pine needles in the time-honored Native American tradition.
As a modern coiling artist, I create contemporary baskets with asymmetry, bright colors, and unexpected patterns.
Like many original Native American objects, my baskets are both beautiful and utilitarian. I use wood, clay, natural and dyed pine needles, waxed thread, and various embellishments to create decorative and unique pieces.
As a descendant of both Appalachian America and the Cherokee people of the Tennessee Valley, my European ancestors included talented quilters, blacksmiths, clock makers, gunsmiths and painters.
I strive to continue a tradition of pride in craftsmanship.
