Una is a Fiber Artist from La Grande, Oregon. Growing up in her parents’ craft supply store she gained experience with a multitude of crafts as an artist and teacher, even appearing on HGTV’s 'That’s Clever’, making a pair of shoes!

Combining unique materials is Una’s most inspiring challenge; she loves “figuring it all out”. From raw wool, to sewing the finishing stitch, she is always looking for new approaches. Una’s work has been exhibited and sold at craft shows across the country under the name Wooly Walkers. She completed her Advanced Oxford Punch Needle training and has been teaching punch needle for 10 years at wool and fiber festivals nationwide.
