Meet the Maker
This one-woman operation is based in the beautiful Verde Valley of central Arizona. I am a mother of two and a lifelong lover of creating beautiful things. I enjoy working with my hands and drawing inspiration from my past studies as a classical trained flutist. Years of living on working cattle ranches across the southwest exposed me to the infinite artistic possibilities leather offered and I have spent the last decade immersing myself in the traditional arts world. Exploring ways to reinvent and redefine traditional leatherwork for the modern woman, I am constantly striving to improve my skills and blur the lines between traditional craft and modern-day art.
