TrendeFemme sprang from a commitment to outstanding design and the belief in the beauty of natural fibers & sustainable materials, including wool, silk, and recycled or vintage fabrics. Educated as a graphic designer and inspired by illustration, organic forms, and romantic details, I discovered felting in 2008 and fell in love with the unpredictable juxtapositions of textures and shapes allowed by wool. I strive to bring a human touch, contemporary aesthetic, and artful presentation to my work. I deeply believe that even ordinary materials can be transformed into extraordinary wearable art and love breathing life into fibers that my have otherwise been discarded or overlooked. Many pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited edition designs and each is lovingly made by hand in my North Carolina studio.
