Artwork is my life’s work. As a child I experimented with many forms of art and throughout my life that passion has grown into my profession. I originally learned artwork from my mother, Lorraine Pfeil. While in college, I made my living primarily through sculpture, crafting jewelry, and drawing portraits. My art studies lead me to San Francisco, where I earned a living as a street artist and met my future husband, Richard Sackett. My husband and I moved to Western North Carolina for its rich diversity of plants and wildlife. My enduring desire is to represent the beauty of the forest and mountains in a manner that offers to others the peace and joy I experience in creating my work. In various mediums (oil painting, bronze and aluminum sculpture, cloisonné, pottery, silk screening, block printing, etc.), I have rendered numerous images from my imagination and from the natural world. My primary medium is etchings and engravings, where I depict the natural beauty of Western North Carolina and other natural areas that have influenced my creative energy.
