Reuse, reduce, recycle. Those are my three R’s. I take parts of old and parts of new to make one-of-a kind, upcycled clothing and hats. I love taking an old sweater that has served its purpose, cut it apart and handcraft it back into a useable, yet whimsical, article of clothing or accessory.

​

I have spent most of my adult life creating. Having grown up in an artistic family, I will take on any new artistic challenge. Weaving, quilting, painting, jewelry, and mixed media are a few of the arts that I like to experiment in.

​

I love color and texture and hope to remain fearless in trying new things. My latest obsession is weaving. I have acquired several looms and love the creative process of experimenting with yarn. There are still so many things yet to learn in the weaving world.
