Artisan & Designer
Born to be Creative!
Artisan
I have been a ‘creative’ for as long as I can remember.
I learned to knit, stitch, and bake from my mother and grandmothers at an early age.
I have taken many courses to pursue my creative passions over the years including painting, fibre arts, photography, and writing. I love to master new creative skills! I addition to daily writing I spend time in my studio space, Starfish Studios–named for my love of the beach, creating jewelry, mixed fibre wearable art, sewing, and playing. I sell my work at a few local markets and boutiques.
Loving my fibre! Right now I am making wraps and ponchos from the softest woolens and cashmere that I have hunted for and carefully prepared and felted for new designs!
Loving my beads! Making jewelry is my mainstay using the finest semi-precious gemstones, swarovski crystal and silver!
Loving sewing by hand and machine. I quilt sew some garments from patterns, but mainly I’m an intuitive sewist and restyle often. I am an embroiderer and learning to do it with beads–tedious, but meditative.
Sew much to learn!
