About Me
May 25th, 2009 at 4:11 pm

Hi, I’m Becka.

As an artist and teacher, I am a jack-of-all-trades.  Rather than being a specialist, my specialty is being able to teach a beginning class in just about everything related to fiber art – felting, dyes, weaving, knitting, sewing, embroidery, beadwork, quilting.  I love embroidery and hand-stitching best.  My own work tends to be all over the map, because I am always influenced by a new class I am developing or technique I am researching.

My “day job” is as an arts administrator and teacher at a national center for fiber arts.  I spend my day surrounded by every kind of textile art – knitting, sewing, surface design, embroidery and more other things than I can name.   Like at every non-profit, I am there more hours than the official job description, but even so, I am lucky to be able to say I love my job.   I am also known at work as the “techhie” – I design and maintain several websites and teach many classes on technology, aimed specifically at artists.

I live in Minneapolis and having grown up in the “country” near Rapid City, SD,  I am totally in to being a city girl.  I have a big blonde dog named Lucy Thunderpaw and a computer geeky husband and the three of us like to go on long walks in search of lattes.  (Don’t worry, I don’t give coffee to the dog, she likes ice water.)

My favorite colors are green and orange.  I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries, historical fiction and YA fantasy.  I love jazz music and Japanese food.

I love comments.  I love questions.  Feel free to say hi!
