Carolyn began drawing rug hooking patterns in 2015, after she was approached by rug hookers attending a rug hooking festival at Hope College. The rug hookers fell in love with Carolyn's art, and her patterns have since become quite popular. As a full time artist and shop owner, Carolyn was soon unable to keep up with the demand for her rug hooking patterns. Her partnership with Honey Bee Hive allows her to continue as a full-time artist and gallery owner, while offering her designs to rug hookers around the world.
