About
I collect indigenous fabrics, which convey to me a deep sense of the handwork and history of the places from which they originate. Drawn to the craftsmanship, the artistry and rituals surrounding these representations, I love to work with my hands in time absorbing detail.
What started as a love of handmade craft and textiles evolved into a career as a designer of art knit sweaters for Timberland, Millma, The Peruvian Connection, and National Geographic Novica. The opportunity to work with luxurious fibers, an extensive palette of colors, and a myriad of handwork techniques enabled me to be a painter with yarn.
Working in my studio in Greensboro, North Carolina, I am continuing my exploration of color and pattern using cut paper as my medium. I print my art onto natural fabrics as a way to share my love of art and textiles. I cut and sew a variety of products featuring my original fabric design. Everyday, practical products that are vibrant, unique, and can brighten your day.
