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.

Woven Indigo Trees, 2012. The warp is traditionally dyed in Indigo using a technique called “Ikat.” The weft is consisted of fiber that is 30+ years old. This fiber consisting of wool, hemp, linen, and cotton has been in my family for years, all woven into this piece.
