Bio
I was born in Houston, Texas. After growing up in the wonderful cities of Mexico City and Rome, I returned to Texas where I graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio. I now live in Houston with my husband and two daughters.

My interest in sewing and embroidery began in childhood. As an adult, my interests expanded into the areas of fabric dyeing and painting, needlework, beading, and felting. During a visit to the International Quilt Festival in 1996, I saw my first art doll exhibit and was completely enchanted. I immediately began to learn everything I could about doll making. I have taken classes from various teachers and I am so grateful for their willingness to share their skills and knowledge. 

I began creating my own original art dolls in 1998, incorporating my passion for fiber art into my figurative sculpture. I love experimenting with new materials and techniques. The process of making these figures is always new and exciting to me. My goal as an artist is to continue to grow and evolve, and to bring pleasure to others through my work.

I have exhibited in numerous galleries and juried exhibitions, including the International Quilt Festival, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, the Santa Fe International Figurative Art Experience, and the Kansas City Doll Fair. My dolls have won awards locally and nationally.  My work has been in various publications including Art Doll Quarterly, Contemporary Doll Collector, Quilting Arts, Soft Dolls and Animals, and the books 500 Handmade Dolls and Deeper into the Woods.

I am thrilled to be one of the newest members of ODACA. I am also a member of the Houston Area Fiber Artists, the Mixed Media Artists of Houston, the Texas Association of Original Doll Artists, the Material Girls of Houston Cloth Doll Club, and the Houston, Galveston, and Brazosport Art Leagues.
