This section is dedicated to what’s still unfolding—where I’m headed as an artist, educator, and curator of creative legacy.

Expanding the Archive: A Shared Digital Quilt

In the future, I hope to grow this site into a wider creator-based archive, where artists, educators, and families from all backgrounds can contribute to a living collection of creative work. I envision a space where:

• Family heirlooms, handmade objects, and stories can be honored

• Artists and educators can learn from one another’s traditions

• Fiber arts, storytelling, and memory-keeping become communal acts

A submission form will be added here soon to allow visitors to share their own family’s artworks, photos, or memories—whether they're tied to fiber, craft, or any form of making. This archive will welcome contributions from across cultures and geographies, threading together a collective record of creativity, care, and inheritance.

A Shop for Handmade Futures (Coming Soon)

I am currently preparing to launch a small shop, where I’ll offer select fiber works, handmade items, zines, and other creative pieces. This will likely begin as an Etsy storefront, but may also live right here on the site as a dedicated shop page.

Every item will reflect the values at the heart of this site: storytelling, sustainability, and the power of making by hand.

My Work as an Art Educator & Researcher

As a graduate of the Master of Arts in Art Education program, I remain deeply committed to creating spaces for culturally responsive, hands-on, and community-centered art education.

During my graduate studies, I developed a research model called FAME: Fiber Arts Model of Engagement, grounded in three core values:

• Cultural Authenticity

• Intergenerational Transparency

• Innovative Heritage

Through workshops, case studies, and collaborative projects, I explored how fiber arts can serve as powerful tools to connect youth with heritage, history, and healing. FAME is more than a framework for craft—it is a lens through which art becomes a practice of identity, empowerment, and belonging.

You can learn more about this ongoing work under the Research & Practice section.

Looking Ahead

My long-term goals include:

• Offering in-person and online workshops for youth and adults

• Hosting community exhibits of fiber arts and oral history

• Creating resources for educators who want to bring fiber arts and archiving into the classroom

• Building an LLC to support these endeavors sustainably

This website is not just an archive—it's an invitation to imagine and make new futures together.
