The process of creating my tapestries is the heart of my art; it’s an added bonus that they’re also intriguing to look at. 

It all begins with the humble sheep and their wool. I clean it, dye it, blend it, spin it, and then finally weave with it. From the earthy smells of lanolin to the alchemy of the dye pot; from the tactile pleasure of spinning to the craftsmanship of weaving, there’s magic in every step.

When I sit down at my loom to weave, I feel the history of millions of women before me across thousands of years. I’m honored to be part of this tradition and to add my modern touch to it. I break from traditional tapestry weaving with warp reveals, meandering weft, and working within a traditional, recycled picture frame.

Like they are for many weavers, nature and the elements are my inspiration (often wind, water, and botanicals). Instead of overt imagery or symbolism, I use the movement and color of nature to express human themes and emotions.

Wool calls, my hands answer. Color sings, and my eyes listen.
