I enjoy working with the fluidity of metals, feeling the copper wire flow through my hands as I stitch with my custom-made crochet hooks. The dichotomy of using the masculine metals to create feminine textiles into sculptures strengthens the beauty in each piece.
My work entails crocheting organic water designs from drops to tapestries for both interior decor and outdoor living spaces including patios and gardens. My range of work also includes textiles, wall art installations, and embroidered works.

A ewer is a vessel meant to hold liquid such as water yet my hand-crocheted wire ewer is unable to in a statement regarding our wasteful water actions.
