recently made my work available online. It’s exciting being an artist in the FM area because there are so many opportunities to share your artwork with others. Where do you find your inspiration? I find inspiration in macrame from previous decades and try to take a modern approach using their techniques. What is your favorite thing about focusing on macrame? It’s very therapeutic. It helps me unwind and relax because it’s kind of a mindless activity now that I’ve gotten better at my craft. What is a word that best describes you? Passionate. I dive in wholeheartedly into all of the creative work that I do.
What advice would you have given yourself three years ago? Taking creative risks is the most important goal you can have for yourself. Get out of your creative comfort zone and try something new whenever you have the opportunity.
time for my relationships, whether that be family or friends. Being a design student, working as a designer and creating macrame has instilled a new level of confidence in me. I am now a firm believer that you can do anything you put your mind to.
How do you balance being a student with creating things for your business? I am very busy but that’s what I enjoy! I love having multiple projects to work through at the same time. Balancing work, school and business is another art form in my eyes. I get tired of being bored so I am always working towards personal and professional goals that I set for myself. Having goals and a plan to make them happen is exciting and helps me stay on track.
Where can people find your work? I’m involved in community events like Unglued Craft Fest and pop-ups at local stores. To be in the loop of where I’m setting up shop next, follow me on social media.
