I am a retired registered nurse, a wife and mother of 4 grown kids and now a grandmother of 3 and counting! 

About 10 years ago I was shown a process using silk roving called silk fusion. This process captured my imagination and over the last 10 years I have used this process in many interesting and creative ways. This results in unique pieces of fabric art every time - even I don't know what the end product will look like! 

Most recently I have discovered working with all natural cork leather fabric, and the possibilities combined with silk fusion are endless. I make my own patterns, as well as using more established ones, and this creative process of experimenting is essential to my art. 

7 years ago I attended my first artisan craft market and found it a great place to meet folks and sell my creations. I sell at markets and artist's collectives but I find I am now also ready to enter the world of online selling. In my Etsy shop you can find all the possible combinations I offer [cork, fusion, hardware, zippers, pockets, etc] to put together your ideal bag/wallet/cuff or whatever else your heart desires! Get in touch with me to discuss possibilities.

The creative process is exciting and necessary to provide balance in my life. As I enter retirement, this has become both my passion and my business.  Hence an Etsy shop!

I continue to cherish my time in the studio, finding new ways to use silk and other fibres as I invent new bag patterns, create art pieces and experiment with new artistic processes.
