I'm so excited to be here! Living my dream of helping you thrive while sharing the benefits of creative expression and creating original art.
My passion for art, design, and quilting began in my youth, after watching my grandmother magically transform yards of fabric into clothing, and she was delighted to take me under her wing. After learning how to make garments, I gravitated towards quilting and my passion ignited. I shared my newfound passion with her, and we began making quilts together. I continued quilting as my professional career led to graphic design, and after finishing the program at RIT, I opened a graphic design studio and began designing custom marketing materials for clients.
After many years in the marketing industry, I shifted gears to motherhood, and found amazing pleasure in designing and making a custom quilt for the newborn that was about to enter and transform my life. My passion for quilting reignites, and I discovered how my graphic design training and experience strengthened my quilt-making skills. What joy I got from combining these two creative skills! While I was raising my son full-time, I brought it all together and began designing and making original modern quilts, and memory quilt (tee-shirt quilts) for clients.
My focus shifted to mental health advocacy, and I become a licensed therapist and discovered the strong connection between mental health and creativity. Creative expression introduces a wonderful opportunity to enhance our mental health, especially when processing past trauma. Engaging in the natural connection between emotional expression through the use of color and creativity is a profoundly fulfilling experience that I can share with you on your healing journey.
