Hi there!

My Story

I was born in cold and snowy Minneapolis, MN, perfect for a young knitter like myself. My first experience with fiber arts was when my sister taught me to knit at just 7 years old. I fell in love. In the years following, my grandmother Mona taught me how to sew, embroider, and quilt. She is primarily a bead-worker and jeweler herself, so tedious, detailed work comes naturally to her, a likeness which I have inherited. I would not be where I am without the support of the female makers in my life. I love how meditative fiber arts can be. The thump of a beater on a loom, the *click clack* of knitting needles, the soft hum of embroidery floss being pulled through fabric. These peaceful sounds get me through long days in the studio.

​

In 2023, I moved to Boston to pursue a BFA at Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt). Entering as a fashion major, I had big dreams, but when I toured the fibers department, I was entranced by the loom room where each weaving class is held. Over time I realized how much I valued having an intimate connection with my materials, and wanted to explore more abstract 3D forms. This realization caused me to switch my major to fiber arts. I value slow laborious processes in my work with most pieces taking upwards of 30 hours to create.

​

I'm now a junior at MassArt, and loving every minute of it. My current obsession is with wool and its process of transformation from sheep to yarn, calling back to the idea of slow deliberate labor, and work passed down from animal to knitted garment, or ancestor to descendant.
