My story

I'm Bev — a mixed-media artist working in wool, silk, paper, and thread. Sunsets, nature, and needle felting make up most of my work these days, with weaving still finding its way in here and there. Each piece is built to hold its place in a home — something to return to, layer by layer, as that home changes around you.

I'm drawn to texture and to the rhythm of making something by hand. My work comes from time spent outdoors, and from the pull of home as something you remake for yourself once the house is quieter than it used to be. I've done that in wool, silk, and thread — something new where something else used to be.

My creative practice is rooted in faith — not something I set out to depict, but something that finds its way in anyway. Every field and tree line I stitch carries a rhythm that was already there, waiting to be picked up.

I believe that pattern was set in motion by God, who still has a purpose for this season — even the parts of it that feel unfamiliar.

The pieces I make aren't meant to demand attention. They're meant to give you somewhere to land — a reminder that an in-between may feel empty, but it's really where something new is already taking shape.

I earned a bachelor's and master's degree in Recreational Therapy, and spent my early career years in that field — helping people find meaning and connection through the things they did with their hands and their time.

That training never really left. I still think about how a space feels, how texture settles a person, how something handmade can hold a person steady on an ordinary day.

Each piece comes together slowly, in my studio, with the materials shaping the outcome as much as I do. The variation, the small imperfections — those aren't mistakes. They're proof something real was made by hand.

I believe a home should hold you well. That's what I hope these pieces do — become steady company in the rooms where life is happening.
