Weaving a Chronicle, a book I wrote about my 47 years at the loom, will be published by Schiffer next sping.  It is a history of early Portland opportunites for commissions via per cent legislation and the galleries and art consultants that followed that mandate.  My fifty commissions  hang in such diverse locations as a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship, residences in Saudi Arabia and Paris, the lobby of Inverness Jail in Portland, the Mark O. Hatfield Federal courthouse in Portland, hospitals, including Kaiser and Legacy, university and school buildings, corporations and businesses.  I am is a recipient of a WESTAF/NEA Regional Fellowship for Visual Artists, an Individual Artists' Fellowship from the Oregon Art Commission and a Crafts Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts.  During nineteen years of teaching weaving at five colleges this is the book I wanted for my students.
