A Collaboration with Nature

Through fleece, fiber, and natural materials, my work emerges through a collaboration with nature. Each piece begins with materials that carry their own history, character, and unpredictability. Wool remembers the sheep from which it came. The process is never entirely controlled, and that uncertainty is part of what draws me to the work.

I am fascinated by transformation. Raw materials become something new through touch, time, and attention. Often the work begins with a simple question or curiosity and develops through exploration rather than a predetermined plan. Some of my most meaningful discoveries have emerged not from knowing exactly where I am going, but from paying attention along the way.

Over time I have come to appreciate that nature is not simply a source of materials but an active participant in the creative process. Every fleece behaves differently. Every material brings its own possibilities. The work often reveals itself through making, inviting a conversation between intention and discovery.

I work from my studio in New Jersey, where I continue to explore the stories, textures, and transformations found within fiber and natural materials. Through each piece, I hope to create work that encourages others to pause, look closely, and discover the beauty of the natural world around them.
