“Create a Handmade Revolution!” -The Craftaholic
I am a self taught artist and writer who lives and plays in Brooklyn New York. I run a group called, “The Craftaholic’s School of Art & Creativity” where I host workshops, classes and fun creative events.
Being a stay at home mother and an artist, I strive to inspire others to think differently about their life, and about what they create and call art. Influenced by my passion for sustainability and my mild obbsession with owls and mermaids, I believe in creating art from everything around you.
I have an online shop, and teach art and craft classes throughout New York City with my art group, “The Craftaholic’s School of Art & Creativity“. My focus in teaching, blogging, and in everything I do, comes from a place of sustainability, motherhood, and my love of creativity.
Companies I’ve worked with:
- Mohawk Fine Papers (Strathmore Artist Paper)
- Colorfin (Pan Pastels)
- Art Institute Glitter
- DMC Threads
- Plaid Crafts
- Ranger (Tim Holtz Products)
- Vintaj (jewelry findings & embellishments)
- Kate’s Paperie
