“I have been drawn to textile craft for as long as I can remember; before I knew anything of the art and craft world, before I learned about the honor and skill required to call oneself a craftsman, before building a mutual respect for the materials and the process. Working with and learning all these things only enlivened my passion more.”

“For me, making is about finding peace and getting away from the stress and worries of the world. I strive to create beautiful and captivating pieces that can provide such an escape for the viewers and wearers of my work. To enable someone to step back from the hostility they face on a daily basis and become immersed in something as simple, and pleasing, as an aesthetically beautiful, finely crafted, piece of art. ”

“My handwoven scarves and ties are all made of cotton, bamboo rayon, and tencel to ensure a soft product with beautiful drape. My wall pieces are a mixture of any fibrous materials I can gather within the desired color range: cotton, fleece, felt, twine, tule, acrylic, burlap, and others. This vast array of materials allows me to create pieces that are immersed in texture creating both a visual and tactile exploration for the viewer. ”
