I mostly work with textiles and fiber to create anything from installations to wearables to miles of multicolored hand dyed and spun yarn. My process is multilayered and is often centered around raw material and changing its characteristics in ways it was never intended. Spinning is also an integral part of my making. Through the use of spinning, I can transform fiber into something that can then be utilized as a material for making hats, scarves, and other wearables. I make because I feel a need to make and because I thoroughly enjoy the act of making and sharing.
