Textile Artist

My textile art focuses on '​Victorian Lampshades Revisited!​'  

​​Creating ​lampshades ​with ​silky​ fabrics​ in ​vibrant colors, ​embellishing them with vintage lace, ​beads and crystals​, then pairing them with tinted-to-match, refurbished antique lamps​ brings me such joy and fulfillment. I love playing with the light and shadow as I design and construct each ​piece​.

What a lovely excuse to explore the arts, customs and patterns from different cultures!
See my not-so-Victorian lampshades out & about Troutdale, Gresham, Portland, and Seattle.


You'll find my work in homes across the US, Oregon bed and breakfasts, local cafes, offices, and grand hotels. I shipped a shade to client in Australia this year and am thrilled to have two on the set of the television drama series, "Billions."
