Hello
I'm a lifelong student of textile techniques from around the world. I use plant- and mineral-based dyes and pigments to color textiles, blending traditional and contemporary techniques. I cut and stitch (by hand and machine) the fabrics I create to make functional and decorative art and homewares that add color and variety to your environment.
Central to my work is visible mending - of worn cloth, family textiles, and fabric of my own making - using dye and stitch together as both a visual language and quiet resistance to disposable culture.
I teach workshops in my dye garden and studio in Southern California, welcoming custom projects and collaborations. Please drop me a line if this speaks to you.
