Born and educated in Germany, I was exposed to fiber art at an early age. Handwork was a regular part of the weekly school curriculum and my passion for art and textiles became a lifelong pursuit. 

Teaching spinning and knitting constitute only a few stepping stones that eventually led me to obtaining diplomas in Art, Design, Contemporary Embroidery as well as Patchwork and Quilting from London City & Guilds.

In 2007 my husband and I packed up our household and moved from the big city to rural Saskatchewan where we make our home just north of Moose Jaw at Buffalo Pound Lake. When I am not traveling to lecture or teach I create art in my dream studio overlooking the breath taking scenery that serves as constant source of inspiration.

This lifelong focus on the arts makes me a passionate and committed artist, teacher, lecturer and writer.
