Award‑Winning Fiber Art, Created by Hand

I love exploring many forms of fiber art — weaving, knitting, crochet, felting, and beyond. My studio practice often moves across several pieces at once, with each work reflecting a different technique, texture, and creative curiosity.

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.
