Inspired Artist. Becoming.

Creating is where I come home to myself. In the quiet, I feel connected—guided by something deeper than words. It’s not just what I do, it’s where I find peace, purpose, and presence.

Award‑Winning Fiber Art, Created by Hand

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news — I brought home nine awards from the 2025 Monmouth County Fair, including three First Place ribbons for my weaving, knitting, crochet, and fiber sculptures.

I love exploring and learning all forms of fiber art — weaving, knitting, crochet, felting, and beyond. It’s rare for me to work on just one thing at a time. In fact, I need at least three projects going at once to soothe my creative ADHD. That’s how I ended up with so many pieces ready to submit — each one reflecting a different technique, a different curiosity, and a different part of my creative journey.

What I’m Creating

I work with wool, texture, and a natural materials – creating felted wearable art, wall decor, and soulful pieces that evolve with me.

Each piece is as unique as the sheep it began with. 

This is where inspiration becomes something you can hold. 

See what’s taking shape in the studio.
