June paints, dyes, and colors most of her textiles. She digitizes photos on her fabric, and, at other times, she draws and paints freehand on blank white cotton or silk. Her textile work is machine quilted.
June also paints in oils, working mostly in "...scapes:" landscapes, hamlet-scapes, city-scapes. Her desire is to render visually the interface between herself and the external scene that confronts her. In December and January, 2008, she painted over 40 oils of the tiny village of Basin, Montana, where she had an artist's residency.

June is a member of Studio Art Quilt Association, the Surface Design Association, and the American Society of Crows and Ravens. She has exhibited locally at ONDA and the Guardino Gallery.
Her husband of 40-plus years, Jerry, a writer of satire; daughter, Jan, winner of the 28th Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest; and one grandchild also live in
