Since childhood, creating textiles and writing have been two constant threads in my life. They grounded me amidst the maelstrom of raising three amazing kids and a demanding career in the philanthropic and nonprofit world. 

Over time, these pursuits pulled me away from that established career and into a less predictable, but creatively thrilling journey. Recently, that has seen me diverge from a lifelong passion for knitting and quilting into wet felting. Shaping fibers with my hands is a primal draw, as if ancestral threads run through my fingers, expressing my Armenian and Nordic roots.

My work has been shown in Myanmar and Philadelphia, and can can be viewed at my partner, Robert Woodward’s Peanutbutter Gallery in Philadelphia.

I live between the mountains and Philadelphia, and am enjoying this new phase of life immensely. Please reach out - I welcome hearing of your stories and interest.
