ARTIST
Drawing from the ancient tradition of weaving as a form of artistic expression, my work explores fiber as both a medium and a language. Based in Utah, I often find inspiration in the surrounding landscapes—the salt flats, mountains, and winding rivers—allowing nature to guide my process. I think of weaving as a conversation with the materials themselves, letting fibers reveal stories of transformation, connection, and imperfection.
Each wall hanging is woven entirely by hand, with fibers chosen for their texture and story: ethically sourced merino wool, recycled silk, and plant-based materials like raffia and hemp.
Through these raw, natural materials, I hope to awaken a deeper connection to the earth and its rhythms.
My tapestries reflects the beauty that emerges when many threads come together in harmony, and my hope is that it invites reflection on how we may all weave the materials of our lives with more intention, uniting human hearts, mending our bond with the earth, and forming a collective tapestry that enriches us all.
