THE CIRCUS
I have made my life in the Appalachian mountains... where the crafts and music abound naturally. Mountain people all seem to have a gift of using their hands, many learning from family members or neighbors. In keeping with this tradition, I too learned from friends and family and then moved to the mountain region.
While learning layout and design through the application of quilt making, I felt that quilts and game boards visually connected. My curiosity to learn wood and paints began the study and discovery of the process that I use today. By studying the past history of the game board craft I began to draw upon the "old ways", keeping with simplicity to the eye with the intention of use. Many of the original designs date back to the 1800's, and this is where I begin to merge the past with the present.
