I am a mixed media fiber artist and greeting card designer by trade. I also love designing jewelry, stitch work and painting. I was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. and started stitching and painting at a very early age. I studied graphic art and design at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students League, both in NYC.
I stitch, paint and design everyday in my CT studio, completing several projects at once and I am always excited to start something new. Every piece is a true reflection of my thoughts at the time in every medium I work in.
It is a healing journey for me, a form of meditation and my sanctuary. I am happiest when in my studio creating new works of art. It lifts my soul, opens my heart and brings me to a place of solace.
I hope my work will make you happy to own!
