I can’t do just one thing. I love working with different materials because they push and pull me in different directions and stimulate my creativity and growth. Each different medium provides me with a new language, a different way of telling a story and another connection to the people around me.

 

Besides working in clay, metal, paper etc. I write story and poetry. I also co-edit and design a magazine/journal. Though the words and images are not mine, I find it an exciting and energetic creative practice. Along with my co-editor, Fenna Schaapman, Toward the Light: Journal of Reflective Word & Image is published twice a year in summer and winter. The summer 2008 issue is now going out into the  world and I’m very proud of it. It’s full of wonderful images and words including an interview with poet Susan Musgrave and prize winning poetry and photography. We spent the extra money to make it be as beautiful as possible with glossy paper and a high end print process to better show the black and white photography and feel good in the hands.

 

Though it is a magazine/journal it has the appearance of a small book since it is perfect bound and has a spine.
