Describe your art
I make various small leather goods and accessories, such as bracelets, rings, keychains, holsters, belts, journals, wallets and more. I love to customize these items with names, quotes, and song lyrics.
Who or what inspires you?
My Dad has inspired me to learn leather working. Over the years, I have watched him make beautiful things from a piece of leather and he’s known around our small community for his holsters and belts. There there are so many things that can be done with leather that it allows me to channel all of my creativity into it.
What is your favorite medium to work with?
My favorite mediums to work with are leather, beads, and paint.
What's a fun fact about you?
I try to involve my kids as much as possible anytime I’m doing any kind of artwork!
