Piece Statement:
Weaving with respect for the environment is my passion. The fibers used are environmentally friendly, and pesticide free. The natural dyes used in my weaving are harvested from my garden using carefully chosen and blended colors. The colors and patterns are uniquely woven together like paint on a canvas. As all organic things in nature are one of a kind with each one being unique, I never repeat a design pattern in my weavings. The best part of the whole process is cutting off the fibers and admiring the texture and drape of a finished weaving that did not deplete, or harm the earth to create.
