I create textile wall paintings from discarded materials, breathing new life into overlooked fabrics. By repurposing remnants from fashion designers, interior decorators, and post-consumer waste, I address the pressing issue of textile waste. Living in coastal California, I draw inspiration from the ocean, beaches, shifting light, and natural landscapes. I constantly search for patterns and textures, using photography to stay observant. Witnessing nature's cycles and the vibrant tapestry of urban life, I employ intuitive quilting techniques to construct dynamic compositions. Each piece is a unique blend of color and texture, inviting viewers to explore the beauty inherent in the discarded. Through my work, I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the power of textiles to connect us to our past, present, and future. By transforming waste into art, I hope to inspire others to consider their environmental impact and embrace the potential for creativity in everyday life.
