Artist Statement
For the past forty years, I have been designing unique leather handbags and exhibiting them in fine arts festivals all over the country . I spent the first eleven of those years pioneering my technique, of sculpting leather to create form and texture. This is an extensive technique in which the leather is put through a process of wetting and heating to mold and finished by gluing and sewing. This technique is used in my sculptural designs allowing me to create three-dimensional pieces with the leather and texture to my one-of-a-kind handbags. The final process, my handbags and garments are adorned with antler, horn, glass beads, vintage pieces, and semi-precious stones. My desire is that my work makes people happy. It is pure joy to me when something I have made is cherished as someone's favorite thing. I believe that in using it, the owner will have more joy and radiate this to those they come in contact with.
