TEXTILE ART ▪ HAND STITCHING ▪ TEACHING
Art shaped by hand. Inspired by nature.
Made slowly.
Stitched with intention.
THE ARTIST
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.
Shibori
Stitch, clamp, tie, or bind, patterns emerge with room for intention and chance
Sashiko & Stitching
Stitch by stitch, cloth is embellished, repaired, and given renewed expression.

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.
