natural dye intensive
in march 2026, I spent three days in joshua tree for a natural dye intensive, preparing a body of materials for an upcoming series of weavings. working in the high desert, I dyed wool and cotton yarns, fabrics, clothing, and a variety of other fibers using cochineal, logwood, marigold, and indigo, with mordants including eucalyptus, alum, soda ash, and soy milk.
alongside the dyeing, I explored cyanotype sun printing — capturing forms from objects and moments in the mojave desert directly onto cloth. parts of the landscape itself became one with the work.
texere
fall of 2024 I had the opportunity to attend an artist residency program in oaxaca, mexico, where I participated in a variety of workshops within local textile craft processes like weaving, natural dyeing, embroidery, and more - developing a collection of textiles and objects that honor the rich culture and biodiversity of the oaxacan landscapes.
this was an exceptional season of creative inspiration and growth as an artist and designer - developing new work, skills, research, and learning valuable knowledge for projects to come.

mighty stripes
emphasis on color and texture allows for a unique interpretation of a classic pattern to function with more applications.
a play on pattern, application, and scale through CAD to create adaptive designs for different home surfaces - in this case a multi-purpose stripe pattern that works on wallpaper, fabric, and rugs.
