Hello! I am an artist and textile designer in Chattanooga TN. I hold a degree in studio art from the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia. I moved to the Chattanooga area for a job as an area rug designer in 2000. After traveling to India for work in 2015, I became curious about the ancient art of handweaving. In 2017 I began to explore weaving as an art form and sharing the craft with others. Currently I am represented by Area 61 Gallery in Chattanooga TN and have my studio at Clearstory Arts in the southside of Chattanooga.

Janet's balls because they are pretty. I'm in a pandemic slump BUT next weekend Janet and I are moving into our new studio and I hope that will light a fire.

Another #WIP for a collection coming out this fall for Area 61 Gallery in time for the holidays.

Starting Monday! My favorite time of the year! This year we are visiting social media and the timing couldn't be better.

#studiocats Look how good he is now around the yarn.

Headed home after a wonderful weekend with friends and away from screens. Enjoy this tree's badonkadonk.

Happy Father's Day. Did you get him another crazy tie?

This is not my main art but so enjoyable. Maybe it was the repetitive stabbing? A week from Monday June 28th, the Chattery and I are offering a beginner punch needle workshop. I'll put the link in my bio.

Magnolias from yesterday's pilgrimage to Dalton for a working computer.

I just realized I haven't posted in a week. I haven't done any art since Monday when I started digitizing a painting and warped a hoop. It's June already. Ye old art biz hasn't offered much encouragement.
Does anyone else feel like they are in a st

I took the day off to..well work, as I often do. I'm getting some ideas started for a collection for this fall/winter. Today was all about the utility side of warping and getting a foundation for fringe woven. The fun part comes next.

I also took

Oh yay! My big hoops are here!! I'm going to be doing a COLLECTION for November! Ideas are coming together.

Weaving a roundie!! I'm loving it. It fits my organic texture overload style, and I can do what I want. I DO WHAT I WANT! (bonus points to me for it not turning out looking like a butthole).

"Pressure and Time", 43"x34", is available now at Area 61 Gallery in Chattanooga (on Broad St next to the Tivoli). As Andy Dufresne put it, "
Geology is the study of pressure and time. Thats all it takes really... pressure..

“Weaving has been a journey into a new-to-me, but ancient, medium that I would have never dreamed of exploring had it not been for a particular chain of events in my life. My work is inspired by the places we go, the people we meet, and the experiences we share that make us human. I draw my inspiration from my background in textiles and a love of texture and color. Each piece is made on a simple frame loom. The process drives me to push the boundaries of the craft more towards fine art as I often seek to incorporate other art media into fiber art. I want to continue learning, sharing, and making.”
