A Journey Through Fiber: My Artistic Evolution
​
My journey as an artist is deeply intertwined with my family's legacy. Growing up, I was surrounded by creativity: my mother's ceramic artistry, my grandmother a painter, and my grandfather a woodworker. This constant exposure to different mediums nurtured my artistic spirit and instilled in me the importance of expression. Being a fifth generation quilter, the threads of creativity ran deep, weaving artistic heritage into my very being.
I began my artistic journey as a successful watercolor and fiber artist, my works finding homes and in galleries across the United States. I belonged to two Co-ops here in Arizona Fountain Hills Artist Gallery and On the Edge Gallery in Scottsdale.. Yet, fate had a different path in store for me.
One serendipitous moment on the internet, I stumbled upon an artist crafting stunning bowls using felt. I purchased the necessary tools and materials. My first wet felted Vessel was a pivotal turning point; a new artistic language that spoke to my soul. I was a Felter.
Each day, I find myself refining my vision, and deepening my connection to the art of felting.
I am profoundly grateful for the generosity of fellow fiber artists who have shared their wisdom and for the opportunity to carry on this artistic legacy within my family. Felting has become more than just a medium; it's a reflection of my evolution as an artist, a testament to the boundless possibilities of creative expression.
