I create batik wall hangings. My friends describe me as an easy-going, gentle and creative woman. When I was a , I enjoyed art and learned my craft from my parents. I, too, have taught others. Starting on my own wasn't easy, but I've come this far with God's grace. I use dyes, wax and cloth, and I work with the help of a few family members. I hope to open a textile school to teach people and also open a gallery to showcase my works. My dream is for my textiles to become known around the world.'
