“I am happiest when working in the studio, the garden, and cooking a good meal using my hand printed aprons, kitchen or bartender towels and potholders. And occasionally I ask myself, ‘Why create products that are meant for use in the home, kitchen, garden, or about town which will get soiled?’ I always return to the core of my work: I choose to move past the fear of using something I create. I want color, richness, texture, and pattern around me every day. I say, ‘Life is messy, so make it colorful!’”
