I am a place based artist living and working on the East Side of Detroit. I create naturally dyed, handwoven textiles with locally foraged plants and natural fibers. My work is rooted in a deep connection to the natural world.

woven
Textiles are foundational to the human experience. Cultures all over the world have their own unique practice of dyeing fiber and weaving. Woven textiles sometimes take the form of clothing, sometimes rugs or blankets, baskets or nets. I like to think that we are all descendants of weavers. There is something very human and very grounding about using our hands to craft something in the same way that humans have been crafting things for thousands of years.
