I love to create art because it is an outlet for my emotions and interactions with the world. I create because it in me to do so.

Fiber arts are my favorite, I feel fabric is a living organism and I love working to manipulate the volume and shapes you can achieve. I found my way to this type of art at a very young age and have made it my life’s passion to create beauty and share it with the world.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere! Sometimes a conversation with an acquaintance will spark an idea, sometimes a beautiful sunset or scene. I take lots of photographs to capture that one great scene when color and composition come together.
What would you do with $25,000?Buy art supplies and maybe take an inspirational trip. Mostly I would invest in my art creating though because materials are expensive and quality materials are even more expensive! I would love to take a trip to Egypt and see the great pyramids for inspiration.
