In my dining room studio, surrounded by wool and tools and Bella sleeping quietly beside me.
ABOUT
I’ve been designing and making rugs for nearly two decades. I’m lucky to spend much of my time in an 1832 Classic Revival farmhouse in the northern Catskill Mountains. Winter months are spent in a loft in lower Manhattan.
My work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Early Homes, and has been included by Early American Life in their annual Directory of Traditional American Artisans. I exhibit my work and offer workshops frequently.
My interests — animals, architecture, simple design — are reflected in my rugs.
Thanks so much for visiting my site and don’t hesitate to get in touch!
