A colorful celebration of creativity and connection. 💛
This section highlights collaborative crochet and yarn projects created with the community — from murals and installations to public displays that tell stories of culture, unity, and resilience. Each piece is stitched with purpose, bringing people together through art that honors history and inspires togetherness.
Nasher Sculpture Center: Yarning the Trees
At the heart of the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, the garden transformed into a living artwork — trees wrapped in threads of color, each stitch a gentle echo of community and creativity. I was honored to take part in this vibrant installation, where yarn met nature, and art grew from every branch.
The colorful crochet coverings weren’t just decorations; they were expressions of warmth and connection. Under the open sky, artists and volunteers worked side by side, weaving stories of unity into the landscape. Every strand added its own rhythm, turning the sculpture garden into a soft, breathing tapestry — a reminder that art doesn’t just hang on walls, it can bloom, embrace, and connect.

CHAIR-ity: Reimagining a Seat with Heart
CHAIR-ity: Reimagining a Seat with Heart
For the CHAIR-ity event, I had the joy of transforming a simple wooden chair into something new — a piece of art wrapped in color, texture, and care. Using crochet as my medium, I covered the chair in vibrant yarns, giving it a fresh life while honoring its story.
What was once ordinary became a statement of renewal and creativity — a reminder that art has the power to restore, uplift, and give back. Each stitch carried intention and warmth, turning this once-forgotten seat into a symbol of community and generosity.
The event itself celebrated connection through art, with every reimagined chair contributing to a greater purpose: supporting programs that make art and music accessible to all. It was an honor to be part of a project where creativity met compassion — and where something as simple as a chair became a vessel for hope.
Terri’s Tree
Terri Robertson Pugh, CEO of Setting the Standard Barbering Academy in Shreveport, LA, reached out to me a few years ago with a special request — to yarn-bomb one of her trees. After collaborating on the color palette, we created a vibrant, joyful design that made the tree truly come alive.
I always lean toward fun, bold, and energetic colors, and this piece reflects that perfectly — a bright, playful work that brings personality and movement to the space.
And now, it’s time for me to create another piece for her, continuing this colorful tradition of creativity and expression.
