I have been a knitter for years and gradually became interested in all forms of fiber arts. My Peace Corps and business travels have taken me to many bazaars and market places around the world where I became keenly aware of textile patterns, color combinations and techniques, most of which are hundreds or thousands of years old.

Most recently, I’ve become fascinated by the properties of wool fiber and the felting process. Felt is oldest known man-made textile and I love to experiment with the medium for contemporary applications. Making something out of ordinary materials and taking a design from concept to creation through trial and error is a process I really enjoy. I also love to work with non-traditional materials, such as knitting and crocheting with sterling silver wire.

My work has been featured on HGTV, The Crafts Report and Knitter's magazine. My work is available via Etsy: www.feltinspired.etsy.com
