From the time I was a kid I have been passionate about traditional fiber art techniques. When I moved to the United States in the early ’90s, I started exploring media such as quilting and hand spinning.

Since 2010 I became particularly interested on how artistic intervention can be an opportunity for community engagement and I started designing and coordinating Graffiti Knitting and Community Weaving projects. In the past 10 years, Wet Felt Making has become my main medium.

From 2012 to 2015 I worked and showed at Studio15 of the Arts Walk in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington DC. In the spring of 2016 I joined Potomac Fiber Arts Guild and Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery. Since 2017 I have been part of the Glen Echo Park Partnership for the Arts’ teaching body with classes in knitting, felting, Nuno felt and fiber arts related camps for kids.  At the moment I am maintaining a fiber art studio in my home in Takoma Park, MD.
