Meet Star

Growing up, I moved through life in pirouettes, with a crayon never too far away. I let my creativity loose at every turn, started teaching dance in eighth grade (even to adults when I was just a kid), and choreographed hundreds of dances. I worked with a photographer, studied vocal performance at the renowned Berklee College of Music, and performed off-off Broadway in New York City.

But when I got a "grown up” corporate job, my creativity stifled. My career soared but my heart felt stuck in some ways, unable to express. I found "adult" ways to create, like writing a bestselling book, but I was missing the wild artist in me.

The gift of this time though, was beginning my own inner work and healing. I trained and opened practice as a transformational coach (which I’ve been doing in joy for 16 years now) and became passionate about creating safe, loving community for people to grow and transform.

When I birthed my daughter, the music of my soul came alive again, and when I began homeschooling her, the door to my imagination opened wide. I got a job as a Lead Teacher at a forest school, teaching not only my daughter but a class full of homeschool children, where I grew passionate about seasonal art and using natural materials.

I watercolored, finger knitted, needle felted, and sewed my way through the days. When I began basketry, I simply couldn't stop weaving.

Now, with Weaving Wonder Basketry, I have taught art to children from ages four to eighteen, and adults. Of course, I have taught the art of basketry but all kinds of other mediums, including painting, macrame, hand sewing, and more. In 2025, I launched Weaving Wonder Circle, an online art community for women to reclaim their creativity through meditative art in intimate friendship. Enrollment only opens once per season.
