I specialize in making extremely slow art. Art that takes many steps, each one them S-L-O-W. I don't even consider myself a particularly patient person, but I somehow muster unbelievable patience when it comes to bringing into fruition a woven textile. Perhaps I'm crazy, or just weird, and maybe I'm also channeling our ancestors ability to hand craft EVERYTHING. Each one of us comes from a long, long line of humans that possessed the patience to make from scratch every single thing they used. Today we are incredibly disconnected from that trait, but it is in our genetic makeup nonetheless.

Chasing light through threads and trying new (and very slow) techniques…..

"Creativity is a sacred dance with the unseen — a courtship with the Muse. When we show up with presence, respect, and openness, inspiration visits, ideas spark, and the Mystery whispers its next creation into our hands."

An deeper look at my encoding process in my handwoven designs.

I think we all, and I know I do in particular, have a deep longing to have more handmade items in our lives. There is no doubt that they hold a special energy that factory made things do not…..

Fire of Creation. A journey back to my creative spark.

It all begins here.

The warping board, where I measure out the yarn, is sort of the equivalent of a painter’s empty canvas. The yarn of the warp, the yarn that goes onto the loom, is my blank slate where the wonderful woven designs appear.
