“Ilive at the edge of a salt marsh and this
fragile environment has
become my muse.
It provides salt marsh hay for coiling, and shells for bases, but more than that, it gives me a peace that al- lows my creativity to flow. As the seasons change, so do the colors
of the marsh, and I have always
been inspired to capture this in my work. Along the way I discovered that copper also imbues these same seasonal hues, but more importantly it seems to embody the very real tension between the marsh and ever encroaching civilization. This conflict drives my current work and hope- fully is my voice of concern. I want to speak louder!”
