Felted Wall Art Gallery
Underwater Wonderland
Underwater Wonderland was inspired by my trip to Trinidad & Tobago while visiting family. The beauty of the floral landscape, the bright blue ocean, and the vibrant colors of the Caribbean; set the stage for a forest of stimulating color using 3D components to represent the biodiversity of our oceans.
Wet and needle felted, combined with hand embroidery design and beading, create texture and sparkle to this lush garden oasis.

See Me As I Am
After two years of Covid-related loss, and a world filled with racial and political divisiveness, an artistic challenge was exactly what I needed to take my mind off the chaos outside my studio. This piece helped me reconnect and reaffirm my creative passions. The neutral palette suggests tranquility, signifying the peace I longed for. Beads, remnants and trinkets are encased within fiber, reminiscent of the comfort of a cocoon. The reflection of stones on a beach sparkles like the faces of family and friends.
