My work consists of fiber art, primarily wet-felted wearable art. The fabrics and garment are created simultaneously with no sewing (except the hand-stitched bead embroidery embellishments). I enjoy the ways human form brings life to my story-telling garments, and that wearable art changes the emotions of the wearer. The undercurrent in most of my design work is female issues, primarily empowerment. Mother Nature features predominately in the form of elements and creatures.
A maker my entire life, it has been since 2010 that fiber art has been a full-time focus. I received a BA in studio art with a concentration in fiber at Western Washington University. I reside in Central Florida with my husband, Rex and faithful pup, Buddy.
