About the Artist

   Martha Belardo is the full-time artist behind Hudson Valley Fiber Arts.

  What began as a sweet farm-to-needle business over twenty years ago has grown to include all kinds of felting, wool doodling, textiles, and vintage keepsakes. Her whimsical fiber sculptures and storytelling creatures—from large installations to sweet little characters— travel the world to collectors of all ages.

   She combines local fibers from Northeastern farms, mills, and dyers, with local hands creating work filled with joy and a touch of magic.
