TEXTILE ART ▪ HAND STITCHING ▪ TEACHING
Art shaped by hand. Inspired by nature.
THE ARTIST
Made slowly.
Stitched with intention.
I am a textile artist and teacher exploring nature, politics, and culture. I specialize in the ancient arts of Batik, Shibori, and Sashiko stitching.
Stitching by hand in a slow, methodical way binds me to every piece I produce.
Welcome to my small corner of the world.
FEATURED WORKS
Three techniques, endless possibilities.
Each technique offers a different way to work with cloth, from the expressive unpredictability of dye to the meditative rhythm of needle and thread.
Batik
A resist-dyeing practice that uses wax to create intricate lines, shapes, and layers of colour.
Sashiko & Stitching
Stitch by stitch, cloth is embellished, repaired, and given renewed expression.
Shibori
Stitch, clamp, tie, or bind, patterns emerge with room for intention and chance

There is always more to discover in the details.
Through teaching, I share the processes behind my work and encourage students to develop their own relationship with fabric, mark-making, and hand stitching.
