I am an artist, craftsman, & upholsterer. For over 35 years I have worked as an upholstery seamstress for high end designers, and as an artist since I was 13. I now work out of my home workshop, but for many years I have worked in local upholstery shops such as Cascade, Houstons, and Blakeley Home Store - REP Craftsman.
I have lived in Washington State since 1948, on both sides of the mountains. The women in my family have been seamstresses and upholsterers for several generations. My father was an engineer who taught me that "if you can't do it right don't do it at all!"
Upholstery pieces I made have been shipped from Liverpool to Hawaii and include pieces for famous super yachts, Niketown Stores, and people I read about in the sports, entertainment , and financial pages. Upholstery pieces I made for Jean Jongeward were also shown at the Bellevue Art Museum's retrospective of her designs.
Sofa built in July, 1854 by Thomas Eaton. Signed and dated on the back. It is put together with square nails made by a blacksmith! Restored and reupholstered in linen, hand painted with a replica of Miro' Women, Moon and Stars. The sofa dismantles and the back has been left off for easier reupholstery. This sofa is for sale.
