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. I shared my first quilt with her, and we began creating together. 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, my passion for quilting was strengthened by making a custom quilt for the newborn who was about to enter and transform my life. What joy I got from discovering how my graphic design training and experience strengthened my quilt designs. I brought it all together and began designing and making original modern quilts, and memory quilts (tee-shirt quilts) for clients. My focus shifted, and I pursued a career in mental health by becoming a licensed therapist. I discovered how creative expression bridges the strong connection between mental health and creativity. The ability to nurture and express emotions through color and creativity is a profoundly fulfilling experience that I now share with my clients by guiding their healing journey.

Year-end is so fun. I dive into change and different ways to approach it, ways that can lower the volume on the overwhelm, or help prioritize. And of course, more insight into trauma. Shocking, I know.

Instead of setting a resolution, set an action, intent, or goal.

I dove recklessly into authenticity in my post about the quilt “In The Clouds,” which features the creative process behind its construction.

The rainbow means so many different things to me, and this wall hanging offered an opportunity to process the specifics. It is easy to connect my art with the use of bright colors, and it goes deeper than that. 🌈

Rainbows are used symbolically in the mental health world to represent different things, many of which resonate with me and connect to existing passions.

It's just who I am: a technically-minded therapist as chill as the clouds in the sky.

I recently lost my sister, and I miss her greatly. Her loss was sudden and unexpected, and in her true empathetic nature, it has led to some positive changes in my life. Read about what I mean in my new blog, Words & Fabric. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Mourning my sister and honoring her memory, as she would want me to.

A reminder of the most important things in life can be seen in the smallest moments everyday. Raising a happy and healthy son who feels confident to express authenticity is a top priority. Today, I recognized a huge leap in growth for him, both on a mental health level and a physical level.

On a summer say when sunlight and blue sky are fighting for real estate and shade from a fence post is better than nothing, it may be best to move as little as possible. So, naturally, I found myself watching my son be his amazing self at a skatepark, testing his abilities on a halfpipe. As we both found ourselves dripping in sweat, I realized how lucky we are, how far he has come, and how much he has grown.

Sometimes the most uncomfortable moments can offer the most joy. Maybe it’s a matter of contrast, or maybe the absence of comfort forces a pause, and you look around to see where you are. In a world that moves so fast, pausing can lead to FOMO, but it is important to go with the flow and trust the timing of the universe.

Quilting is my air

I’ve never been one to follow the crowd. This comes through in my quilt design. I enjoy artfully crafting modern-style hand made quilts, which are all unique and one-of-a-kind designs, and often feature bold color combinations. Pairing this with experienced craftsmanship results in something very special. Everything that comes out of my studio is hand quilted. Really. My other passion is custom memory quilts, and I’d love to hear from you and explore how we can create the perfect keepsake to cherish. The more I know about the clothing that you would like in the quilt, the more personal I can make it. You can use infant/baby clothes, race shirts, sports uniforms, memorial clothing from a loved one, dance outfits... just about anything.
