About Me
Michigan made, I have know since childhood that being an artist would be my walk through life. From sewing to metal smithing to furniture making, I have a love for all artistic mediums and do not shy away from learning new techniques and materials. I graduated from College for Creative Studies in Detroit with a BFA in Crafts and left there with a drive to succeed as a professional artist. Since graduating, I have made fashion my main focus but always create with the mindset that fashion is a form of art.
Pooka Queen came into existences when industrial felt met my hands for the first time. The potential in this one material to take form like paper and manipulate into anything I could conceive, sparked my creative drive and introduced me to a whole new realm. Most familiar to me are the techniques of metalsmithing, which are often rigid and slow processes. I found refreshing reward in felt’s ability for effortless transformation. Often inspired by sculptural forms found in architecture and nature, one can find in Pooka Queen, squids, sting rays, octopus, armadillos, peacocks, shields, and even the Guggenheim after a trip to Bilboa Spain. With each piece, I try to include elements that make it exclusive, whether it be a rare vintage button or the hand touch of dying and painting the wool myself. My discovery of millinery has allowed me to share my visions as well as giving people a way of self expression.
All Made with care and love
