However, it wasn’t until she discovered the world of fiber art that she found the medium which has become her deepest passion and artistic means of exploration. Her aim as an artist and facilitator is to reflect a love for play, expression, exploration, history, and nature. She strives to share the sense of wonder we feel by creating with our own hands.
