$1,254 Raised at the El Cerrito Winter Makers Market!

I’m still feeling so grateful after an incredible day at the El Cerrito Winter Makers Market today. The outpouring of community support was truly heart-warming. From old friends stopping by to say hello, to wonderful neighbors, to brand-new acquaintances discovering my work for the first time—every interaction made the day feel special.

Sharing art in a space filled with so much kindness and curiosity is a gift. I loved the chance to talk about process, materials, inspiration, and all the tiny details that make each piece feel alive.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised $1,254 toward my next service dog. I’m deeply thankful for everyone who showed up, shared a moment, or took a piece home.

What a beautiful reminder of the strength and warmth of this community. Here’s to more art, more connection, and more shared stories ahead.

$240 Raised at the Jack London Square Patchwork Show!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support me at the Jack London Square Patchwork Show! It was an amazing day filled with great conversations, beautiful weather, and a chance to connect with so many talented artists and makers.
