Art was always within me—I just needed to set it free.

Since childhood, I’ve felt a creative pull—something deep inside me yearning to take form through art. I was good at many things, but art always carried a special power. Still, for years it remained a quiet, suppressed dream. As I moved into adulthood, I carried a vague emptiness—like nothing I did truly resonated. That is, until I found tufting.

Something shifted. It felt like an ancient connection between me and the material. Wool, to me, is more than just a fiber—it's a living, breathing medium. Soft and embracing, yet strong and resilient. Since that first moment, I’ve been drawn to the quiet paradox of wool: both sheltering and powerful.

Creating is my ritual—and my way of connecting.

Each artwork is a journey inward—for me, and for the person it’s made for. When someone commissions a piece, they’re not just asking for wall art. They’re inviting a feeling, a presence, an energy into their space.

I become a translator in that process—taking their emotions and intentions, and weaving them into form, fiber, and texture. As I work, I grow too. I clear. I become. That’s when I feel most human—when I enter flow.

How I work

I simply sit down and begin. And if needed, I stay there for 10–14 hours straight. I let the energy guide me. No overthinking, no analyzing—just doing. It’s an intuitive, meditative process where time dissolves, and I merge with the material.

Techniques I use

Right now, I’m most drawn to tufting and wet felting, but what excites me most is combining techniques. In a single piece, I might blend tufting, needle felting, and wet felting—all using wool, yet each method unlocking a different energy within it. That’s what fascinates me.

Inspiration is everywhere

Color is a psychological force. Used with intention, it can shape our mood, transform our homes, even shift our lives. But inspiration doesn’t just come from color. It’s in the curve of a fallen leaf, a peeling wall texture, a stranger’s expression on the metro. I walk through the world with open eyes—because inspiration is always speaking, if we’re quiet enough to listen.

What I want to share

A feeling. A warmth. A safe, grounded atmosphere where someone can truly feel at home.
I believe handmade objects carry a soul—and that soul can touch us daily. If one of my works brings someone peace, growth, or connection to themselves, it’s already worth it.

That is the heart of The Tuftista: to offer art that’s not only beautiful, but that fosters real connection—between people and space, between people and each other, and most importantly, between people and themselves.
