Paper Models of
Northwest Coast Basketry and Southwest Pueblo Pottery
Description:
For centuries, North American Native women have fashioned vessels of root, grass, bark and mud gathered from the land surrounding their communities.
Inspired by the function and beauty of these vessels, I created Northwest Coast Basketry Paper Models and Southwest Pueblo Pottery Pottery Paper Models.
Held in the palm of the hand, each model sparks a deeper interest in the art forms and culture that are part of North America’s history and heritage. I consulted with Native elders, basket weavers, potters, museum curators and anthropologists to create these educational, timeless and beautiful three-dimensional models. They are enjoyed by children and adults, ages 9 – 90.

Burien Signal Box
Client Description:
As a part of “Art in Public Places”, the City of Burien Arts Commission is applying artistic “wraps” to metal signal boxes that control traffic lights in Burien. The whole project will be spread over 3 years and include a total of 30 boxes.
I covered the box with a mosaic of details from traditional textiles from around the world, speaking of the incredible diversity of people that call Burien home. As people walk by the signal box, they can stop to admire the array of textiles, and perhaps recognize fabric designs from their own history.
