Though my BFA in fine arts is in painting, I spend most of my time making fiber sculptures of people’s dogs. It is a direct combination of my two greatest passions, animals and creating art and object.
I also love printmaking and to make wearable, functional and figurative fiber art. I live in the incredibly creative city of Portland, Oregon with my wonderful husband Edgar and our amazing pooches, Hazel and Oscar.
When it rains outside we stay in drinking tea and making stuff, it is a great life and I am thankful.
