Milford, Pennsylvania
Meet the Maker: I’m a textile artist drawn to the meditative rhythm of handweaving and the way color can shift, surprise, and spark emotion. When I weave, I’m completely immersed in the feel of the fibers and the quiet conversation that happens between my hands and the loom. My weaving practice centers on the exploration of gradients through soft, seamless transitions of hue that speak to nuance, transformation, and emotional depth. Though, I have recently been spending more time at the sewing machine using imagery to create bold, quilted work as well. I love experimenting with all kinds of materials— fabric scraps, fleece, twine, tulle, yarn— anything that adds personality and texture. My wall hangings are built from layers of color and texture, inviting people to lean in, look closer, and hopefully even reach out. I’m also fascinated by how textiles can shape a space. My pieces don’t always sit flat on the wall; they might bend around corners, climb up architectural features, or spill playfully into the room. I see installation as an extension of the weaving; a way to keep the work alive and in motion, creating a sense of energy and surprise. Alongside my wall pieces, I create finely crafted wearables in soft, draping fibers like tencel, cotton, and bamboo rayon. These garments continue my celebration of color and gradients to create versatile pieces that can often transform and appear as more than one piece depending on how it is draped. Whether I’m weaving on a loom or stitching at my machine, I’m always chasing that blend of calm, curiosity, and creative spark that makes working with fiber such a joy.
