I am a fiber artist working with eco-printing and natural dyes to create one-of-kind textiles that reflect the beauty and impermanence of the natural world. Using leaving, flowers, and other botanicals, I print directly onto nature fabrics, often breathing new life into upcycled garments and vintage textiles.
Much of my practice centers around sustainability and storytelling. By working with reclaimed fabrics, I give new life to discarded clothing, and fabrics, allowing each piece to carry its own layered history. Through hand stitching I add texture, time and personal narrative- marking the cloth with slow, intentional gestures that eco the rhythms of nature.
I create both wearable art and wall pieces, with a special focus on garments that blend natural imagery with the principles of slow fashion. Every piece is an invitation to pause, to notice, and to reconnect with the land, with the process and with the materials we so often take for granted.
Whether through making, exhibiting, or teaching, my work is a practice of care, for the earth, for textiles, and for the quiet stories we carry in cloth.
