I am a fiber and mixed media artist living just outside of Chicago. My current studio is in my home but I am very active in the Oak Park Art League which is located nearby and is the address I have used here. I’ve been an artist member there for over 25 years, I served as a board member for 6 years and now exhibit regularly and occasionally teach workshops and classes.
Spinning spells, weaving wonder and creating mixed media artwork through a wide variety of ancient textile art techniques are the methods of magic I incorporate into my work as a stitch witch and fiber artist. My passion is channeling the wisdom of the ancestors into contemporary creations with a focus on re-envisioning the value and visibility of what has been viewed traditionally as women’s work, or craft.
Throughout my 30+ year career I have woven community together and provided creative inspiration for children and adults of all ages and abilities. With a desire to support my own health I utilize the somatic movements and contemplative practice of spinning yarn and weaving tapestries to connect mind, body and spirit. It is my desire to connect with others who are interested in creativity as a mode of healing ourselves and our world. I also look forward to finding other creatives on this map as I hope to travel more in the near future.
