With a background shaped by music, theatre, and fine arts, she brings a strong sense of structure, movement, and narrative to her textile practice.

artist statement

My work is centered on wool fiber as a sustainable, natural material. Wool has been used for centuries to create everything from shelter to the finest textiles, supporting human life without the need to kill animals. Through traditional and contemporary felting techniques, I explore wool’s structural strength, tactile qualities, and expressive potential, transforming it into wearable art that connects craftsmanship, ecology, and human experience.
