textile artist & recycle creative
Artist | Costume design | Dog fashion | PopArt stylist | Recycle creative | Writer
Currently on a health care/worklife break due to rare disease Takayasu. But still experimenting with recycling and upcycling pre-owned items & old (broken) jeans. It is my therapy to survive. The best work-out for my hands. My life line! Open for exhibition invites. Do not take assingments yet at this moment. For more info check my socials.
