Hello! I am an artist and textile designer in Chattanooga TN. I hold a degree in studio art from the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia. I moved to the Chattanooga area for a job as an area rug designer in 2000. After traveling to India for work in 2015, I became curious about the ancient art of handweaving. In 2017 I began to explore weaving as an art form and sharing the craft with others. My woven art is available at my studio at Clearstory Arts in the southside of Chattanooga.

“Weaving has been a journey into a new-to-me, but ancient, medium that I would have never dreamed of exploring had it not been for a particular chain of events in my life. My work is inspired by the places we go, the people we meet, and the experiences we share that make us human. I draw my inspiration from my background in textiles and a love of texture and color. Each piece is made on a simple frame loom. The process drives me to push the boundaries of the craft more towards fine art as I often seek to incorporate other art media into fiber art. I want to continue learning, sharing, and making.”
