Painting
Sculpture

Life is the radiant art of spirit. Earth Dance sculptures are an integration of matter and spirit. The beauty and essence of wood and stone form the sculpture. Imagination, emotions and creativity are expressed through dance. Through our art we bring into the world something that did not previously exist. We enlarge the universe.

I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the age of 16 I started my professional career as a performing artist, acrobat and aerialist. My career ranged from theme parks, musicals, dance companies, Las Vegas reviews, Moulin Rouge, film, and then twelve years with Sesame Street Live as a performer, choreographer and director. After twenty years touring with national and international productions my husband and I retired from the road to build our house near Sandpoint, Idaho, and to expand my creative expression as an artist. Earth Dance sculptures are inspired by my love and experience of dance and the beauty and spirit in nature. Each sculpture is one of a kind in a mixed media of wood, stone and clay, then embellished with a variety of materials. The wood I use is mainly Ocean Spray, a common shrub in the inland northwest region. The stones for the heads and bases are collected from Lake Pend d’Oreille and the Pacific Coast.
