I'm an Indiana born girl who grew up in Minnesota and now lives in Atlanta with my fiancee, an impossible cat, and a sweet dog named Lucy. I graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts Painting from a small art school in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I have been sewing, drawing, and painting ever since I was a little girl spending summers with my grandmother in Indiana. She instilled in me a love of the handmade, passing on quilts, as well as stories, of the beautiful clothes her mother, my great grandmother, had made. I cherish these stories and items, they have largely shaped my life and interests.

I strive in my work to recapture that childish fascination of making things with unexpected materials and give new life to vintage finds.
