I'm a contemplative, enthusiastic mixed media artist and teaching artist living in Wisconsin. I love working with old textiles, intuitive slow stitching, color, texture and pattern to explore my mind and my emotions. I'm nostalgic and sentimental and love to feel my way through the creative process with my heart and mind open to the good and beauty that might happen at any moment. Art has helped me through very difficult times in my life and has given me a healthy outlet for my deep sensitivity. The experience of art making is a unique journey each time I sit down to create something. The process is engaging, exciting, challenging and deeply inspiring for me. It teaches me new things about myself and the world and has become a way of living that brings incredible meaning and purpose to my life.

Sharing what I love with others through classes and retreats is one of the greatest joys of my life. I love encouraging authentic, creative expression and being around other people who love art as much as I do.

Thank you so much for being here, I hope you find something that touches your heart and inspires you on your creative journey.
