Soft Sculpture and Mixed Media 

I've been creating quirky stuffed animals and home decor for the better part of 20 years, as well as raising three kids with my lovely husband and teaching preschool at Oak Grove School in Ojai.  My grandmother and mother sewed up toys and clothes when I was a kid, so the itch to stitch might be genetic.  I love natural fibers and recycled treasures, and am deeply energized by the work of fellow artists.  My travel altars are a new venture that blends a love of making things with my own ever-deepening devotion to Spirit.
