I have had a passion for fibers my entire life.  I first learned the art of knitting and crocheting at the young age of eight.  I found my passion for weaving while an art major at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.  I later transferred to The Rhode Island School of Design, where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Textiles.  After graduation, I worked in the industry as a jacquard designer, designing woven fabrics for upholstery and interiors.  Feeling held back creatively, I left the industry and started working full-time as a studio artist.  I am currently dabbling in many aspects of fiber art, but mainly concentrating on designing and knitting with a hand-powered knitting machine.  My studio is currently located in Greenville, Pennsylvania.
