The Pre-Raphaelites played a large part in shaping my outlook, as I was an English major in college. I also love cats, big and small, especially Siamese.
Many things inspire me--people who do their best at whatever they do; the art, music and crafts of different cultures; beautiful plants, trees flowers and shells. I enjoy collaborating with other artists and like the energy that is exchanged.
Mission: To explore, promote and create interesting, beautiful, and cutting edge textiles using natural fibers, pigments and dyes.

Wild, yes, but elegant too. I didn't know those two could go together, but they do! I especially love the sweater with the ruffles, and the brown slinky slip-dress with the grayed-aqua patterning. Tres chic.
