felted fine art

I create fiber art to embrace the textures of nature. My expressive felted wool pieces inspire curiosity and close examination. I combine natural fibrous texture with intricate details to explore the potential for collaboration and harmony with nature.

inspired by nature

I invite you to explore my felted fine art, inspired by wanderings through rolling prairie and wooded paths. My work shares discoveries, exploration of place, and experiences in our natural world.

creating connection

I am passionate about sharing the art of felting while encouraging an appreciation for nature. I teach workshops which adopt botanical themes, and are often hosted by conservation organizations and botanical gardens.
