My life has come full circle. Retirement has allowed me to return to activities I dearly loved when younger. Not least of them, creating artistic wearables. I'm a self taught nuno-felter which has allowed me to bring my work to a higher level. Working with the softest wool and silk imaginable puts me in a zen like state unleashing my creativity and allowing me to expresses my life experiences living in different countries.
I make pieces that are practical and artistic. I take artistic elements to the level that I think my customers will feel comfortable wearing casually, at work for a special event. I have had customers in Italy, France, Latin America and the United States. Each one has taken my artistic designs in different directions and to different levels. This is what I enjoy the most. Getting to know a person, their style preferences, their body type, encouraging them to go beyond the mundane and making something that captures them as an individual.
Most recently I've extended my work into art pieces. I started with small and extended to large pieces appropriate for commercial settings. This has allowed me to expand my ability express my inner self.
