As the daughter of an artist, I’ve been creating all my life. Today, my practice centers on linoleum block printing, cyanotype, collage, and hand stitching. I’m drawn to the tactile nature of these processes and the satisfaction of making something by hand.
I began teaching in my West Seattle studio in 2024, sharing the techniques I love in a welcoming, supportive setting. My classes have since grown to include private groups, corporate events, and multiday retreats. I love seeing students become absorbed in their work, exchange ideas, and gain confidence in their own creativity.
Living in Budapest for four years and attending creative retreats around the world have shaped both my art and my teaching. My 2025 artist residency at Château Orquevaux in France reinforced how valuable it is to make art alongside others. That sense of creative community is something I bring to my classes.
My background includes over 20 years of experience in art licensing and product development. My work has been featured in Where Women Create, UPPERCASE, and The Seattle Times.
