Working with fiber and textiles has always been a major part of my creative process. I graduated with an Art degree from Emmanuel College in Boston, Massachusetts in 1981, where I studied weaving and textile design. Enthralled with creativity and its innate capacity to foster self-awareness and insight, I continued my studies at Lesley University in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated with a master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy.

Over the years, between raising a family and working as an Expressive Arts Therapist, I wanted to expand beyond the confines of a loom and began experimenting with an ancient Japanese dyeing technique known as Shibori. I perfected this dying technique creating vibrant patterns and designs and applied it to various types of silk clothing and accessories. In 2006, I developed an interest in felting and by chance, learned to apply a specialized nuno-felting technique to my shibori silk fibers. The results have been mesmerizing. They have enabled me to experience a creative renaissance as an artist.

I hope you enjoy taking a tour of my website. But you truly have to see, touch and feel these creations to fully appreciate them. They are soft and comfortable while dramatic and elegant. You will find that you want to wear them over and over again! Enjoy.
