With a youth consumed by both 4-H fairs and the theatre department  I found myself quoting Shakespeare in livestock barns.'Unusual' has been a  lifelong theme for me,  and also an endless source of facination and inquiry in my writing, artwork, designing and point of view.

I've been a doll artist for the past 3 decades, and have written articles and instruction manuals on construction and materials. As a clothing designer with my own workshop I've written in house process manuals and taught sewing classes.
