I would say that the nine years since I was invited to join
Twelve by
Twelve have been more artistically rewarding than I could ever have
imagined. Through the experimental pieces I made with the group
challenges, I have found the art I love to make and have been very
successful in exhibiting my work around the country. My collaboration
with Paula Chung in
A View Within is currently on exhibition at Houston
Center for Contemporary Craft, Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts, and
Schmidt Art Center. A new piece from my 3-D series on Loss
will also be in this year's
World of Threads in Oakville, Canada. My continuing friendships with
the other Twelves are very important to me.

Thanks for sharing in this update on the Twelves! I just read my copy of the book from cover to cover over this past weekend. You all did such wonderful work!!
