Texture brings depth and life to everything! There’s nothing like the art of hand spun vintage textiles. My love affair is in the nostalgic patience artisans had with each strand, each layer, each perfectly imperfect finished piece that breathed a sense of soul to this art form that went back for generations. Each piece I come across is received in awe and true appreciation for this medium.
To then be able to embellish vintage textiles with Mother Nature in either natural hand dyes or ecoprints brings such gratification in the details of every batch. The element of surprise are seen in the details on how nature has embraced the fabric for a one of a kind result every time. It is no wonder that ecoprinting has grown like wildfire across the globe.
Marrying Nature, Art, History and Style was born. As an old soul I hold a deep respect and appreciation for the things of bygone eras. Traditional style upholstery is an art in an of itself as well. From the nails, springs, hair, hand sewing and stuffing with care to the end result brings a rebirth to every antique piece I come across. My life’s journey is clearly seen with my extended background in photography, education in graphic design, love of Mother Nature and antiques from past lives, I’m led to the here and now to build a solid foundation of all my favorite art forms. After all, if it’s art- it’s not for everybody and if it’s for everybody, it’s not art. I’m just extending an invitation to you for my art for art’s sake....Welcome!
