My designs are intentionally spare, often abstract, and minimalist in style and composition. Works may be simple, direct, emotional, sometimes fantastical, allowing space for each viewer to reference their own life experience. Weaving attracts me for its simplicity: beginning with two opposing sets of threads twining together to create a whole, I’ve found my imagination is the only limitation. Working at the loom provides the opportunity to sit in stillness, allowing my hands to think.
