She finds time to create while taking care of her two little boys and enjoys spending time with them and her husband.
She found a love for textile art first when she discovered macrame and started making plant hangers which led to learning the art of woven wall hanging.

Wood Decor
Handmade picture frames from recycled barnwood are a beautiful accent to your decor. With many different designs you can find the perfect original art piece for you.
Inspiration
Creating art is a very therapeutic and individual experience and process. I find inspiration through nature and each unique color and texture within it.
The fibers I create with are also very original in themselves and are a major source of inspiration within each piece.
Materials
Wool, recycled cotton, alpaca, velvet, mohair, silk, banana yarn, and driftwood are all major materials in my work. Art yarn is an addition to my artwork that brings the pieces to life. This hand-spun yarn is carefully prepared and spun by myself, as well as other artists and adds a completely unique element to each piece.
Behind the Materials
The wood that I use to hang macrame pieces and some woven wall hangings is found on a farm in Wyoming. My macrame string is made from 100% recycled cotton. Much of the yarn I use is from sheep in the Eastern United States. To find out more about the materials in a certain piece please read each item description or feel free to reach out to me for more information.
Process
The process of creating each individual piece is a very detailed, slow, and unique process. Each woven wall hanging usually starts with a sketch, but sometimes I allow inspiration to guide the piece as it comes together. Macrame pieces are usually inspired by the piece of wood that is being used, and the design is slowly unfolded as the piece comes together.
