Tell our readers a little bit about yourself and your work.

I am a felt maker from Portland, Oregon.  I live with my husband and two cats and one dog.  I make felt in my garage and throughout my entire house.  There are felt pieces everywhere that fall off my clothes as I walk through the house.  I use the wet felting process using hot water, soap and agitation.  I love that it felt magical.

What are some sources of inspiration for your work?

I draw my inspiration from everywhere.  Nature and art and old movies.

Are you showcasing anything new at the winter UCU show?

I have a new style of scarflette.  It is fun and easy to wear.

What are you most excited about for UCU?

Returning to Seattle- a very fun city- and participating in UCU!
