About Us

Hi, I’m a fiber artist, writer and instructor based in Union County. My lifelong passion for sewing and textiles led me to encourage others to also express themselves creatively, using culturally relevant techniques and materials. In my how-to project books and my magazine, Fabrigasm, I launched the Cultured Expressions brand in 2002 to sell my books, along with the fabrics, beads and supplies. I also teach, lecture and host special events and travel opportunities called SewJourns, and coach other artisans, all under the brand. I opened Cultured Expressions’ studio location in downtown Rahway, NJ in December 2017. The space combines retail and event space for classes and private parties. Faraway customers can shop all of the studio's merchandise by way of Virtual Visits, personal shopping appointments via Zoom, WhatsApp or Google Duo video call apps. I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York with a Bachelors degree in Marketing and an Associate degree in Communications and have held various positions in the sewing, craft, and textile industries.
