Something interesting about yourself:
I got to meet Buzz Aldrin in person and while he was visiting a Memorial day celebration in Columbia, Missouri. It was windy that day so my hair was sticking out like Feathers in our selfie together. I was starstruck and walked in the room announcing I'm looking for Buzz, everyone just smiled and he turned to greet me. We had a little chat. It was very memorable.

What do you like to create the most when felting?
I am really into mushrooms. I love their diversity of colour, shape, and texture. Fungi are an endless source of inspiration for me and a great challenge. I am able to utilize all forms of felting and I really enjoy that aspect… plus, they don’t have faces!

Sometimes. Commissions aren’t my favourite, so I have to really vibe with the project. My favourite commission was to make a large-scale, anatomical human heart <3 It was an incredible and beautiful piece that is part of a travelling exhibition at various museums.

All time favorite food? 
Give me Greek! Anything with all that fresh lemon, oregano, olive oil, and garlic - I love it!

Something interesting about yourself:
After I graduated high school I travelled a lot, and while in Uganda there was a hippopotamus shot at the river in the town I was staying in. The whole community went to the river to see it and I was encouraged to buy some meat (I didn’t eat red meat at the time, but felt that it was a supportive thing to do.) So I handed over my money and received a large chunk of bloody meat *in my hand* in return! I ended up making hippo stew and enjoying it :D
