Understory invites the viewer into a small, imagined world beneath the forest floor. A tiny figure rests beneath the sweeping cap of an oversized mushroom, transforming an ordinary woodland form into a place of shelter and quiet refuge.

Created in needle-felted wool, the mushroom is built with soft layers of cream, blush, mossy green, and earth tones. Hundreds of small felted markings travel across its surface, suggesting spores, lichen, and the beautiful irregularities found in nature. The dimensional figure beneath gives the piece an almost storybook quality, leaving the viewer to imagine who this little traveler might be—and what brought them here.

Whimsical without giving away the whole story, Understory celebrates the hidden worlds we might discover if only we were small enough to see them.

After the Rain captures the hushed, saturated beauty of the forest floor following a rainfall. A solitary mushroom rises from a tangle of moss and vegetation, its pale cap standing in quiet contrast to the deep greens and earthy browns surrounding it.

Created in needle-felted wool, long, loosely worked fibers blur and stretch across the composition, suggesting water running down glass or a landscape viewed through a rain-covered lens. Rather than defining every detail, the wool is allowed to remain soft and expressive, giving the scene a sense of movement and atmosphere.

Quiet, damp, and slightly dreamlike, After the Rain celebrates one of nature’s smallest moments—the world still dripping as the rain begins to pass.

American Barn Owl captures the quiet presence of one of nature’s most distinctive birds. Created in needle-felted wool, the portrait builds the owl’s soft plumage through layers of cream, gold, warm brown, and white fibers, with careful attention given to the subtle markings that make each feather seem to emerge from the surface.

The owl’s characteristic heart-shaped face and dark, watchful eyes form the focal point, while the tactile nature of wool lends a softness particularly suited to the bird’s almost silent presence.

Both detailed and atmospheric, American Barn Owl celebrates the delicate beauty of a remarkable nocturnal hunter—a bird that can appear at once serene, mysterious, and completely alert.

Rabbit is an intimate wildlife portrait rendered entirely in needle-felted wool. Layers of natural browns, creams, grays, and soft ochres are carefully blended to build the subtle markings and texture of the animal’s fur.

Fine fiber details define the rabbit’s long ears, delicate whiskers, and expressive face, while the warm amber eye becomes the quiet focal point of the piece. Set against an understated natural-wool background, the simple composition allows the animal’s form and character to take center stage.

Geodes 1 draws inspiration from the hidden landscapes found inside stone—where ordinary surfaces give way to unexpected color, pattern, and crystalline form.

Layers of needle-felted wool radiate outward in irregular bands, mimicking the organic growth of a geode while allowing the fibers to create their own variations in texture and shape. Rich shifts in color and contrasting details give the piece a sense of depth, as though revealing a cross-section of something formed slowly beneath the earth.

Both abstract and geological, Geodes 1 is a study in repetition, texture, and the beautiful unpredictability of natural forms.

Pluvial Hush captures a crow in a quieter moment, surrounded by cool blues that evoke rain, water, and the softened atmosphere of a storm.

Rather than relying on realism, the bird is built through simplified shapes, bold lines, and layered fields of blue. The surrounding forms shift between droplets, ripples, and fragments of sky, allowing the crow to emerge from—and nearly dissolve back into—its environment.

Created in needle-felted wool, Pluvial Hush pairs the tactile softness of fiber with a graphic, almost stained-glass quality. It is a small study in color, texture, and stillness: the world momentarily hushed by rain.

Verdant Call explores the crow through color, shape, and movement rather than realism. Rendered in unexpected shades of chartreuse, moss, and deep forest green, the bird emerges from a patchwork of overlapping forms that echo leaves, shadows, and dense vegetation.

Bold black lines define the crow’s open beak and angular silhouette, capturing it in the instant of a call. The surrounding greens seem to shift between bird and landscape, allowing the figure to become part of the environment itself.

Created in needle-felted wool, Verdant Call embraces a looser, more graphic approach to fiber art—celebrating texture, abstraction, and the unmistakable attitude of the crow.

With his wrinkled brow, squishy muzzle, and unmistakable French Bulldog expression, Frenchie captures the wonderfully serious face of a dog who seems to have very strong opinions about everything.

Created entirely in wool, layers of carefully blended fibers build the subtle variations of fawn, cream, and black throughout his face, while sculptural felting gives dimension to his characteristic folds, ears, and glossy muzzle. Set against a rich blue background and nestled beside soft neutral forms, the close composition gives the piece an intimate, almost photographic quality.

Equal parts dignified, skeptical, and completely lovable, Frenchie is a celebration of the personality that makes this little breed impossible to resist.

Placed THIRD in the 2026 Fowlerville Family Fair!

Years ago, I read Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, and the story stayed with me. When I began thinking about how to open my series “Echoes of Her Culture” I felt compelled to start with this ancient art form. As I studied the role of geishas in Japanese culture, three of their most cherished virtues stood out to me: peace, beauty, and strength. From that inspiration, “Virtues of a Geisha” was born.

This triptych features three distinct geishas in traditional dress, each depicted in a moment emblematic of their way of life. Every panel blends the contrasting textures of polymer clay and wool. In the first panel, a geisha holds an umbrella, shielding herself from falling cherry blossoms. In the upper left corner appears the Japanese kanji for Peace (Heiwa). The second panel shows a geisha demurely hidden behind an intricately decorated uchiwa fan, alongside the kanji for Beauty (Utsukushii). The final panel captures a dancing geisha performing with traditional sensu fans, accompanied by the kanji for Strength (Chikara). Each panel is colored to reflect its virtue: blue and green for peace, tranquility, and harmony; pink and white for fleeting beauty and purity; and gold and indigo for divine power and nobility.

The work is needle‑felted with Merino sheep’s wool on a 100% wool felt backing, paired with Sculpey Premo polymer clay. Each panel measures 8" x 10" and is matted in cream and framed in a black wooden frame.

Details:

• Size: 40” x 14” x 1”

• Materials: Merino wool on 100% wool backing

• Framing: Black wood frame and cream mat
