Textile art, for me, is a medium of expressive art that is currently under appreciated in the art world. Textiles are part of our everyday life and as an art form should not just be viewed but also explored and touched to be appreciated. I draw inspiration from nature and natural elements, creating contrasting textures of soft moss growing on stone walls to the delicate structures of wild mushrooms growing on fallen tree trunks. These observations become the foundation of my work, as I strive to capture the essence of nature’s textures in every piece.
My work focuses on the tactile and sensory dimensions of textile art, inspired by the intricate beauty and textures of nature, through hand and free-motion embroidery, fabric manipulation, and hot textiles. Capturing the beauty of the natural world encourages others to appreciate and connect with it on a deeper level.
