What do you make?

I’m not a quilter. I’m not an embroiderer. I’m not a felter. It has taken a while to be comfortable saying it— I am an artist.

Creative Process

I use quilting, embroidery, and felting techniques in my work. My art seeks to recreate the textures and shapes I find in nature, translating them through the language of fabric. With fabric comes thread and fibers, and a myriad of techniques to manipulate these materials into forms that speak to the organic world.

Experimentation is at the heart of my process. I am always searching for the right combination of methods to evoke the textures I envision. My explorations have included wet felting, painting and melting craft felt, using reusable materials, and even simple embroidery. I once even boiled polyester in pursuit of a particular effect! For me, the work isn’t about any single technique, but about what happens when processes combine—how they interact, blend, and ultimately create something new.

Philosophy & Inspiration

I believe that art is a conversation between medium, maker, and viewer. I am inspired by the endless possibilities of fabric and the tactile experience of creating. Each piece is an opportunity to experiment, to discover, and to challenge the boundaries of traditional fiber arts.

Thank you for being part of this creative journey. I invite you to explore my portfolio and experience the unique world of fiber art.
