In a world that often feels intent on eliminating personal, unmeasured time, tapestry weaving offers a deliberate contrast. The slow, methodical nature of the process creates space for contemplation and reflection. Working by hand—through drawing, creating woven samples, and weaving scarves—the artist approaches each piece with an enduring passion for texture, pattern, and color.

Storytelling and the natural world—whether wild or domesticated—are constant influences in the work. Through the layering of pattern and color, these ideas and experiences are transformed into more abstracted visual expressions.

As an artist weaver, she sees herself as both a contemporary practitioner and part of a continuum that stretches back thousands of years. This duality serves as both a comfort and a challenge, grounding her practice in tradition while pushing it forward.
