“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy”
hello!
Thanks for your interest in my work! I am an artist and surface pattern designer living and creating in Austin, Texas.
Art has always been my jam. I have a degree in fine art and taught elementary and high school art for 16 years. The kids taught me more about the joy of creating than any class I could ever take!
For four years I worked as a the textile designer for the popular children's clothing brands, Eleanor Rose and Kelly's Kids, creating beautiful, whimsical fabric. The joy of seeing a happy little girl twirl in a dress I helped create is one of the most rewarding feelings I've ever experienced!
Fabric I designed for Eleanor Rose, beautifully modeled by Miss Emily Grace. :)

Currently, I am freelancing and licensing my work to create beautiful products and fabric.
