Hello and thank you for visiting my website! Please peruse and enjoy the pieces I've uploaded. I have always enjoyed creating but sometimes creativity leaves me for extended periods or just finds an outlet other than visual art. This web site is called Great Sedna after the Inuit goddess who created beautiful, living creatures from her severed fingers. By the time the idea gets from my brain to my hands, I often feel maimed by inability, lack of time, fear... Too clumsy to piece together what I see in my mind's eye. So I don't feel like Sedna at all_ because she made beauty from butchery. I just admire her immensely.

Her story has always seemed like a violent example of the platitudes given by the well-meaning during hard times. I love her stories and the animals that came into being from her severed digits really make lemonade look like a pitiful effort. "When life gives you lemons...." When I hear that or any of the million other phrases that are useless and sometimes insulting in times of hardship, I just think of horrifying old Sedna. And occasionally I think of Brak. If you are unfamiliar with Brak, suffice it to say that he is an insane cartoon character who advises that we blast life's lemons to bits 'With [our] awesome laser canons!'

In addition to drawing and painting I really enjoy sculpting (playing with clay and making odd little things more so than sculpting), sewing by hand, and sometimes making jewelry. I like to combine sewing and sculpting sometimes and create little dolls and ornaments.
