I am inspired by the natural world around us, it’s cycles, and what lessons we can learn from observation. My work emphasizes the use of natural fibers, natural dyes, and locally sourced materials. Incorporating the use of local materials helps to nurture a sense of place and belonging, a deep connection that I feel brings life. Combining the meditative processes of gardening, dyeing, spinning and weaving creates great joy and a reminder to slow down, listen, and observe what nature has given to us. I am interested in how process crosses into our daily living and how these choices, especially the use of locally grown materials, can help shape our footprint on the future.
