My work begins in the garden, shaped by sustained observation of seasonal shifts, light, and growth. I am drawn to fleeting moments—a bloom at its peak, light moving across a leaf, patterns that appear and disappear with time. Through photography, I capture these transient details, preserving what might otherwise go unnoticed.
In the studio, these images become the foundation for my handwoven fiber work. I translate what I have seen into texture, structure, and form, using a slower, more deliberate process to give permanence to what was once temporary.
Designed with interior spaces in mind, my pieces bring a quiet presence rather than dominance. They invite closer viewing, revealing layers of nuance, depth, and subtle movement over time. Collected and placed with intention, the work integrates seamlessly into residential environments—offering a refined interplay of texture, light, and natural form.
Each image and weaving is one-of-a-kind and comes with a photograph of the garden, which inspired the artwork.
Gardening, photography, and weaving converge in my work to create large-scale textile pieces that translate the intimacy of nature into immersive visual experiences. Rooted in a deep understanding of soil, light, and plant life, I compose my gardens as living studies in color, texture, and form—then reframe them through the lens of abstraction.
My focus centers on the often unseen: the intricate veining of leaves, the architecture of stamens and pistils, and the fleeting complexity of each bloom. These details are photographed, enlarged, and transformed into bold, painterly compositions.
Each image is printed onto cotton fabric, cut into strips, and handwoven on a four-harness floor loom using a warp of more than 800 individual thin sewing threads. This labor-intensive process creates richly textured surfaces where image and structure are inseparable, resulting in work that shifts with light and reveals new depth over time.
The fusion of ancient weaving techniques with contemporary photographic imagery produces pieces that are both tactile and visually dynamic. While grounded in natural forms, the final works function as modern abstractions—designed to anchor a space, invite closer inspection, and create a sense of calm and presence.
My work is particularly suited for interiors that value materiality, craftsmanship, and a connection to the natural world. Each one-of-a- kind piece offers a quiet focal point—one that rewards sustained attention and brings a layered, organic sensibility into architectural spaces.
