A Colorado native with a lifelong passion for crafts and art, this artist's creative journey began with scribbles and oriental trading craft kits, eventually leading to high school ceramics, fiber arts, photography, hand embroidery, and laser machine cutting. In 2010, they achieved recognition in the fiber arts division of an art show for a unique basket crafted from a cowboy's old rope.
