I’m an artist and maker working primarily with fiber and textiles.

I draw inspiration from nature, folk art, pop culture, and memory. My work has been recognized in both my native Pennsylvania and in Texas, where I spent many years developing my practice.

I now live in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where my studio overlooks the Susquehanna River and mountains beyond.

I help beginning or returning artists learn weaving, felting, and other fiber arts.

I collaborate with artists and makers through creative practice, support in the home or studio, and thoughtful problem-solving shaped by years of experience working across textiles, interiors, and creative spaces.

Support may include:

  • Weaving instruction for new and returning artists

  • Material guidance and creative problem-solving

  • Studio organization and workflow support

  • Loom setup, repair, and restoration

  • Interior styling and soft goods consultation

  • Project development and collaborative support for artists and makers, including portfolio websites

I believe the arts and related support should be accessible, and I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experience levels.

  • My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and free of judgment. Creative work can be messy, nonlinear, and deeply personal, and I aim to create an environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and working through uncertainty without pressure or pretension.

    In addition to textiles and fiber arts, I bring experience in business formation, brand identity, SEO, ecommerce, online content, interior design, and creative organization. I enjoy helping artists and small creative businesses shape spaces, systems, and online presences that feel cohesive, functional, and true to their work.

  • Projects vary widely and may include weaving and fiber arts instruction, loom repair and restoration, studio organization, website design, online shops, and collaborative creative support for artists and makers.

  • Both. Some projects are best approached in person, while website work, consultations, and certain forms of creative support can be handled remotely.

  • Website projects vary widely in scope and are quoted individually. Simpler, single page portfolio or informational sites may begin around $350, while larger ecommerce or more customized projects can range upwards of $5,000. Some services are billed hourly, while others are structured as flat-rate projects.

    Smaller projects, consultations, and collaborative support are welcome. I recognize that artists are not equally resourced and will do my best to work with your budget.

  • Usually with a conversation. Some clients need a single session or specific service, while others are looking for more ongoing collaboration and support.

  • I currently offer beginner lessons in weaving on a variety of looms, and instruction on wet and needle felting.

  • I primarily work with floor and table looms, including older and vintage models, and bandweaving looms like inkle and backstrap looms.

    Local and regional loom repair or restoration projects are considered individually.

  • Projects vary depending on scope, location, and whether the work is ongoing or focused on a single session.

    Most one-on-one support begins at $55/hour, with reduced rates available for longer sessions or ongoing work. Some projects are quoted individually.
