About Me

- Name: Artist Statement:
- Location: MInneapolis, Minnesota, United States
I discovered needle felting by attending a parent handwork group at the City of Lakes Waldorf School where my daughter attends. We were making small needle felted dolls to sell in the school store. I was completely taken with the wonderful soft wool, the variety of texture and color, and of its natural appeal. I had never seen this medium before. I began experimenting with different ways I could use the technique. Since my experience had been with watercolor painting, I applied the wool as if I was painting, adding layers. Now I only use wool and dry needle felting for my “paintings”. To me, when I am finished they best resemble a tapestry so I call the technique felted tapestry painting. In my work, I feel a calling to focus on tree portraits showcasing their unique beauty to our surroundings.
