I create one-of-a-kind handwoven garments and accessories made from very fine natural fibers. My specific interests are in the graphicness of pattern and movement of cloth. Often, I employ the use of fiber reactive dyes for painted warp pieces. I work on 8 and 16 shaft looms and create my own patterns or adapt traditional patterns to meet the needs of my creations. The garments are often original designs. I have patterns made for me by a master seamstress based upon my drawings.
