About

For nearly twenty years I’ve returned to my loom to translate colour, texture, and quiet thought into handwoven cloth. Each piece is slowly crafted in my studio, using carefully sourced natural fibres.

My work explores what it means to craft an object that holds space and endures time. I produce small collections of scarves and shawls from my Canadian studio and offer them 1-2 times per year.
