Music has been a constant thread throughout my life. Growing up in a musical family, I was immersed in sound, rhythm, and creativity from an early age. Surrounded by musicians, I developed a deep appreciation for performance and composition that shaped my identity as an artist.

Early fascination with fabric and fashion came from my seamstress mother. You might say fiber art is bound into my DNA. My felting journey began with a study of skin. Skin as a protective covering, and as identifier, and how it can record history. A study of animal skin, and human skin; leading to hybrids. All the while, intrigued with the way wearable art transforms its wearer.
