I am a Chicago-based fiber artist. I live with my husband- Ben Hyde- in a pre-war apartment near Lake Michigan. I have 3 kids who are grown up and doing their own things. I graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1976 with a BFA. I am still adjusting to Midwestern life after living most of my days in New England!<\/p>\n
