This journey started in 2008 with a portrait of a friend and has turned into my creative passion!
I began offering lectures and trunk shows a few years ago, which turned into in-person workshops.
In 2020, I decided to film the entire process from beginning to end and share it with YOU wonderful creatives from all over the world! I can't wait to see what you create!!!
The Masterclass:
I spent a few months detailing how to create one of my fabric portraits form beginning to end! It is a comprehensive, on-demand course that you can view anytime and as many times as you'd like!

Learned a lot and so fun! The method worked so well for good results. I will use the method again on a future project.
Thanks, Maggie! Couldn't have done it without you!
