Process

A journey of rhythmic intention, a sacred dance.

A room with a window, a potted plant on the window sill, a loom, a wooden bench, and a potted plant on a stand.

STUDIO

I am a Canadian Handweaver
I weave on beautiful old Leclerc floor looms

Okanagan, Canada / Vienna, Austria

A weaving loom with a partially woven blue and white textile, a wooden shuttle, and metal threads.

WARP + WEFT

a journey through thought
the culmination of time
an evolution of knowledge
the transformation of energy into matter

MATERIALS

Silk / Alpaca / Linen / Hemp
GOTS Certified Organic Cotton / Recycled Cotton

Materials are very important to me
I strive to select the highest quality natural fibre yarns

Special colours are hand dyed with plants
