Magazine, Blogs & Shows:
My work has been featured in various magazines and blogs around the world. Most notably Martha Stewart's Blueprint Magazine did a profile on my studio when it was both SWIGG studio, a graphic design firm and SWIGG products, a product design studio. I have also participated in many trade, craft and gallery shows working on a myriad of really fun projects. Becoming a mother has given me the opportunity to segue back into a fine art practice pursuing multi-media sculpture. Excited to see where the journey takes me next!
