“…the desire to never repeat, to always move on within a given ‘canvas’ of silk.”

I am a professional weaver who has lived on three continents. The diverse cultural influences I have encountered together with family traditions in textiles form the solid foundation for my unique use of fiber and intuitive color sense.

My pieces are individually hand-crafted; I use my own warp-dyeing technique – “liberated ikat” – which allows me to apply color to silk yarn in a painterly way. Each piece is handwoven to enhance color movement and demonstrates exacting attention to detail.
