ABOUT MY WORK:

For my hand stitched work I start with vintage, salvaged and repurposed wool. Using non-toxic, fiber reactive dyes I custom dye both my wool and organic cotton thread. Vintage/upcycled cotton is used to create my printable cotton designs-I make the printer sheets with Bubble-Jet Set a non-toxic product.

ABOUT ME:
I grew up underfoot in my Nana's fiber art studio-surrounded by dye, silk, wool and the joy of creating. My collision course with art began there and has been unstoppable ever since.

ABOUT ME:
I grew up underfoot in my Nana's fiber art studio-surrounded by dye, silk, wool and the joy of creating. My collision course with art began there and has been unstoppable ever since. My career path has taken me from directing a rural non-profit, peer-counseling youth street workers, and running a licensed preschool, to operating a high end jewellery design company and now to graphic design/marketing. When I became a mother at 21 I started focusing on art as a way to stay sane. 6 years and another daughter later I am finally able to pursue creating full time. Now my children will grow up underfoot in my studio-while I craft beautiful things for people like you. A perfect circle!
