Hi there, I'm Tyler, a fiber artist based in Riverdale, MD. I have been passionate about bold colors and patterns since childhood, and it wasn't until a particularly stressful year working in the environmental nonprofit sector that I discovered my love for fiber arts. Seeking a new hobby to alleviate stress, I decided to learn how to embroider. It quickly became a form of art therapy for me as I found peace in the repetitive motions. I then took a Tapestry Weaving 101 course and fell in love with the craft. Now, more than a decade later, I create unique fiber art pieces using weaving, embroidery, punch needle, and tufting techniques. I thoughtfully mix textures, materials, and colors to bring warmth and happiness to any space. When I am not creating fiber art, I love to visit local coffee shops, spend time in nature with my husband, search for treasures at thrift shops, and dream of my next trip to the beach with my family.
