She states: Decades of travel to over 30 countries has given me a deep appreciation for textiles and their history. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I have lived in Australia, the UK, and now reside in New York City.
I have taught handspinning for guilds, the MidAtlantic Fiber Association, and the John C Campbell Folk School and have published articles in Ply Magazine and Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot.
I’m a member of the New York Guild of
Handweavers and I’m on the board of directors of the Handweavers Guild of America (HGA) and the MidAtlantic Fiber Association (MAFA). I co-host the monthly “MAFA Movie Night” via Zoom with Kate Ohara.
