My weaving practice is about play- playing with color, texture and pattern. By combining a variety of yarn materials (matte cotton and linen, shiny bamboo, metallic lurex, loopy boucle, velvety chenille, the list goes on!) I build soothing patterns and imagined landscapes. Weaving simultaneously lights me up and calms me down.

The weaving process is meditative in nature with the back and forth and under and over repetition of motion. This slow, mindful art resonates with me as I am also a mother in need of a moment of peace. A warp on the loom is patient and forgiving; it will quietly wait for you while life unfolds all around. Because of this quality, I find that weaving is a creative practice that is compatible with all the messy, joyful, loving life that comes with caring for three small people.
