I was raised on a small barrier island off the coast of New Jersey, and had it an intimate relationship with the ocean and be there. My childhood was one of incredible freedom to roam the waterways and marshes and I was free to run the beach alone anytime I desired.
One day, having discovered the flexibility of beach grass, I came home with a complete boat woven grass 2 feet tall. My mother was startled, and asked who my weaving teacher was. I told her, no one I was just remembering. This begin my career and fiber arts.
