    I'm originally from South Florida but I've had the pleasure of living in Burlington since 2020. I am an artist/maker/crafter on a never ending quest to learn how to work with as many mediums as possible, some of my favorites being fine metal, clay, and yarn. I love helping others work through the creative process by offering different perspectives and approaches to making. When I'm not working on a project I'm probably hanging out with my cat while reading or playing video games.
