I explore the human perception of nature through weavings, natural dyes, soft sculptures, prints, and photographs that reference cultural histories in relationship to the natural landscape.
Concepts that illustrate experiences of vicarious resilience and positive thinking will always permeate my work, as it is at the heart of my activist practice as an art therapist.

New dyed skeins. Goldenrod, Alkanet, used Coffee grounds, Indigo, and Black-Eyed Susan.
Triangles. Pattern. Subjective Experience.
The above photo is a branch of a fern that only grows on high altitude canopies of trees. I had the luxury of spending time in these trees and photographed these plants in Boquete, Panama.
The second work is one of my side projects that focuses on weaving without a loom by concealing industrial objects with soft, naturally colored, woven fibers inspired by the above experience.
