StatementArt has been a passion of mine. Being creative and working with my hands comes naturally to me. I started sewing in high school making my own clothes and crafts. I loved working with different materials and mediums in art class. My goal after high school was to go on into graphic design, but life took a different direction. I’ve been a hairdresser for 20 plus years, which is a great form of art.
Creating pieces that are symbolic of beauty and meaning. This is my passion to share with others what I see and feel in this world around us. There is always a red thread in the center of each piece I create. This symbolizes love, love is the center of all things, and I create each piece with love! I also create, from one of the keyforms, Goddess Dolls. These dolls hold space of love, beauty, and Goddess energy for women and girls, as a reminder of what is with themselves. |

Education & TrainingA few years ago at a Reiki Retreat, I was introduced to Weaving a Life and fell in love with that. Felt this calling to both work with these 7 keyforms and teach this to others, to explore the inner self. These seven keyforms ring a sense of healing, truth, love, and self-discovery into one’s life. This has also allowed my intuitive creativity to flow and create beauty with fiber art. I received my training as a Weaving a Life Circle Leader and Story Loom Leader. From there my personal creativity flowed to create these pieces that told a story of what I saw in nature, what came to me as I read a story, intuitively came to me, or what I was experiencing.
