I've been an avid crocheter since I was 14. I received my BA in Fine Arts from San Francisco State University where I studied with weaver Candace Crockett, sculptor Stephen De Staebler, and ceramicist David Kuraoka, among others. In the early 2000s I became a Craft Yarn Council of America Certified Crochet Instructor. I developed a series of popular classes and workshops that I taught in the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally for many years. I sold my crocheted jewelry and accessories at art festivals in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2012 I moved to Pittsburgh, PA where I sold my work at The Gallery on 43rd Street and Robin's Nest. Sadly, both galleries have closed. I'm currently selling my work at craft shows in the Pittsburgh region and occasionally in the Bay Area when I'm there for a visit.

With a crochet hook and a strand of fiber I create unique accessories, home goods, jewelry, and more for people who value fine crafting, artistry, and originality. I'll have everything from stocking stuffers to splurges for you to choose from at my shows this holiday season.
