Erin O'Neill is a world traveler (13 countries so far), artist, designer, and animal lover. Collecting textiles became an enduring passion after her first trip to Thailand. Her professional life has spanned a range of artistic and entrepreneurial pursuits, from glass artist and faux finish painter to garden designer and fashion boutique owner. She grew up in a family of artists with a menagerie of animals, and now is creatively branching out yet again with her beloved dog muse Mita by her side. Like Erin's patchwork of life experiences, Puppo Ponchos combine a love of animals with fashion, international textiles, and design.
