| About Me | Most of the time I am an artist who paints with paper — not on paper but with paper — I call it painterly collage.  I also love to play with cloth and fiber, pattern and design. | 
                
                    | About My Designs | My designs are my playground where I unwind after a day of painting. | 
                
                    | My Source of Inspiration | I love to play with geometric variations, especial those that combine curve and linear elements. | 
                
                    | Typical for designs from my country
 | American designs reflect many ethnic roots.  My own heritage is a mixture of English, Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Slovenian ancestors. | 
                
                    | Besides patterns I design | I create fine art, working mainly in charcoal and collage.  I also like to knit and to spin my own yarns. |
