Work

"My practice consists of exploration of color and pattern through fabric design techniques including weaving, batik, print and dye techniques, and a variety of embellishment techniques. I pull from my background in painting through my fabric design techniques, especially when working with batik and direct dye application. I am interested in sustainable practice: repurposing objects, thrifting materials, and refurbishing furniture. I find inspiration all around me, in patterns and color in surrounding nature and architecture. My goal is to take traditional weaving techniques and push them into the world of soft sculpture, furniture design, and fashion design. I often create everyday objects to transform them into something special and unique that the viewer can feel connected to; the idea of bringing joy into any moment and any object is what I strive for."
