My love of textiles began at age 8 when my mother taught me to sew.....and I
haven't stopped since! A self-taught artist, my techniques have evolved over the
years by combining both a background in art and a fascination with fabric.
I've been teaching sewing and fiber arts for the past 26 years in a variety of
venues and enjoy sharing my passion with my students. My work has won
numerous awards and can be found in galleries and private collections
throughout the United States and abroad.
