Artist

My first display of artwork was published at Yale University . I first started my journey with writing poems, then songs. I later discovered the lost art of crocheting where I was self taught. I have made bags, blankets, scarves, and hats. I moved on to painting and had an inspiration to paint stemless wine glasses for the first high school students' class of 2020 who did not experience a prom due to COVID-19. I then started a small business of making tumblers, cups and anything a customer wanted custom. My latest hobby is tufting rugs.
