In 2000, after teaching locally for several years, I began teaching at guilds and basketry events around the United States. Traveling and getting to know the basket community across the country has enriched my life more than I could have imagined; it is a community filled with amazingly talented and precious people.

Over the years I have exhibited my work at a local gallery and at shows around the country. I have won numerous awards. You can  see my gallery work here.

In 2020, after being a member of the National Basketry Organization for 18 years, I joined the NBO Board of Directors and served as Board President in 2022 and 2023.  NBO is an inclusive community of makers and enthusiasts whose mission is to promote awareness, inspire creativity, and foster appreciation for the heritage and artistry of basketry. I am equally impressed and inspired by NBOs staff and board members; I am honored to serve the basketry community alongside them.
