About
Connection is at the root of my work. I make art to connect with myself and the world around me. I'm a mixed media artist using fiber art, illustration and collage in both community projects and my own personal work.
​
As an artist working in the public realm, I have facilitated collaborative fiber art projects during residencies at The Falk Laboratory School, The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh and with immigrants from the Turkish and Ukrainian communities in Pittsburgh.
​
Another focus of mine has been large scale portrait projects. In Drawn Together, artist Suzanne Werder and I drew each other every day during January, 2022. During a residency at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater, I drew portraits and interviewed people on Penn Avenue and did the same with passengers at the Pittsburgh International Airport.
​
My personal work tells my own story, combining autobiography, fiber art, comics, illustration, collage and the written word.
I am a member of the Pittsburgh Creative Corps, Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh and Group A.
