I was trained to be a graphic designer, but I learned, too late, that it was a desk job! I couldn't sit still all day. Somehow I was led into textiles and found happiness standing up to work!

And the colors! I wanted to wrap myself in my creations and you can't really do that with paper. So I put my work on fabric and now I can wear it and so can you. You'll see some of the work I still do on paper and canvas, but my heart is with being wrapped up in silk. And now you can wrap yourself in colorful silk, too.

I lay my white fabrics flat on my worktable and paint them with big brushes, using the dyes like watercolors. I also silk screen patterns on the fabrics with resist to get more layers of pattern. Sometimes, I paint them with fabric paints after the dyes.

After the fabrics are washed out and ironed, they get cut and sewn into scarves and garments. I make all my scarves from yardage. There are no scarf blanks out there in the fabrics I use, so you can only find them at my Esty store.

The designs are my original creations, too. I hope they make my customers feel like dancing.
