I enjoy trying almost anything arts and craft related and sharing the making with others.
My main passions are in the areas of collage, bookbinding, print making and sewing.
I think art is a much needed therapy in modern days because it forces us to slow down, gifts us some meditative time, lets us forget about having to be productive and gives us space to focus on the process.
