*Midwest based Art educator, Visual Storyteller & Janome America Artisan***, leading creative & sustainable workshops for well-being.

Respecting the human and environmental resources that go into textile production, is my focus. Consciousness about resource wastage, is at the heart of the work I create.

My goal is to encourage new skills and be part of a greater dialogue in the textile industry and within my community, that offers inclusive solutions to create every day, functional Art, by upcycling & re-using resources, preserving & mending.

The workshops I lead, in a variety of subjects, present sustainable approaches to build confidence and community, with a back to basics approach.

I believe that drawing from traditions across cultures and generations can lead us to Collaboration, enduring Connections and boundless Creativity.
