Using all natural materials respectfully gathered in nature —plants, flowers, leaves, bark, and nuts — I make my mark using traditional methods such as Shibori, dyeing and botanical Imprinting on silk, cotton, and linen clothing and home goods using formulas and techniques inspired by traditional methods used for hundreds, and sometimes, thousands of years.
My carefully hand-crafted, environmentally-friendly pieces are influenced by material and colors found in nature, my intent is to create one-of-a-kind pieces that have minimal impact on the environment.
