I remember going with my dad to pottery classes, and spending summers drawing and painting. My passion for art continued beyond high school, and in 2009 I graduated with a BFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Murray State University.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/olive-this-felt-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br><\/span><o_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">In 2014, shortly after my oldest daughter Olive was born, I quit my job to become a stay at home mom. While it was rewarding in its own way, I found myself craving a creative outlet that was outside the realms of motherhood. I happened to come across several online tutorials on making felt food, and decided to give it a try. I fell in love with felt and embroidery, and opened my business, Olive This Felt, a few months later.<\/span><br><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I now have almost ten years of experience as a fiber artist, selling my work around the world and pushing the boundaries of embroidery art. In addition to the day to day runnings of my business, I teach workshops at a local art house and&nbsp;create tutorials and patterns for major felt and craft distributors.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/olive-this-felt-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I currently live in Ohio with my husband Derrick, my ten year old daughter Olive, my seven year old daughter Hazel, and our dog and cat.
