My background has always been as a creative—I have my parents to thank for that! I majored in Graphic Design and minored in Fine Arts throughout my two-timed college experience. My range of creativity spans from ceramics and oils to the funner things like graphic design, interior design, and needlepoint! It's in my Wheelhaus!

My journey through textiles and paint have always sort of intertwined themselves in my life. I like to say that I found the hobby years ago through my textile genetics and through the search of finding something tedious and meticulous, yet stress relieving.

I largely started designing canvases because my then fiancé told me to put the phone down, stop watching the news, and find a hobby during the pandemic. Fortunately, I already knew a very expensive hobby and got back into needlepointing. Due to the limits that we were in during the pandemic and not being able to reach a LNS I started painting canvas designs for myself! They say that necessity breeds invention—here we are! I found my dream side job and my tribe within this grow community. I have never found a group of individuals so willing to help and support one another.

All of Wheelhaus Needlepoint’s canvas designs illustrate northeast coastal and southern charm with a tinge of cheekiness. “Oh nauti-nauti!” Whether you are traveling to your ”happy place” destination, or needlepointing on the couch, binge watching your favorite TV series with a huge glass of wine, I hope you love your purchase as much as I loved painting it and becomes a staple in your household generations to come.

Happy stitching!
