I love creating tactile, story-driven pieces through felting and mixed media. I’m especially drawn to translating art beyond the frame integrating it into everyday life, often through wearable forms. For me, art isn’t just something to look at, but something to live in, touch, and carry with you.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in nature the quiet shifts of light, organic textures, and imperfect forms. Subtle details, like weathered surfaces or fleeting seasonal changes, often guide my ideas. Nature offers a calm, honest rhythm that I try to echo in my work.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to receive $25,000, I would open a modest studio-shop where I could devote myself fully to my art, free from financial strain. It would be a quiet, welcoming where handmade pieces come to life and art gently becomes part of everyday living while a meaningful portion would be dedicated to supporting animals in need.
