In order to maintain curiosity and vibrancy in my creative practice, I make sure to incorporate a healthy dose of playfulness and experimentation. This involves working with new or different mediums, creating on different scales, and making things with a more natural flow that isn’t halted by the pattern-writing process.
As I create in these different mediums, I often release finished work to my collectors.

exploring fiber arts
Weaving is one of my favorite ways to play in my studio. Working with larger fibers such as yarn and roving makes for a lovely way to change things up from the embroidery thread that I use most often. This process has become a very mindful and nourishing part of my creative practice over the past few years and I look forward to exploring it more in the coming season.
