About the Artist

In every piece I create, whether it’s a collage, a tapestry, quilt, or unique bag lies a narrative woven from history. Each fragment and remnant, once forgotten or discarded, finds a new life and purpose within my artwork, a blending of the past and present.

My love for natural textiles and stitching began in my childhood. Growing up in Minnesota, spending summers at the lake cabin, camping in the North Woods, ice fishing with my father and tromping through the snow fed my love for nature. Memories of heavy wool jackets, Hudson Bay blankets stacked on porch beds, canvas awnings and fresh linens on the line feed my soul even today. It is no surprise they are central to my designs.
