Migration Collection

This collection was directly inspired by quilts and folk art. The birds in quits have been capturing my attention especially thinking about bird migration that is currently happening.

I create all of my own designs. They start as sketches in my sketchbook that turn into exact bead count drawings on graph paper. Then they are hand woven, not on a loom, which is a timely process but the end result is worth it.

My brain works in collections. My creative heart (and mind) crave a cohesive body of work. This may be my learning from art school, or just how my creative little soul works. Either way, nothing feels more complete to me than a cohesive body of work.

My time an energy on my designs is more for creating art rather than making money. Don’t get me wrong, I need to pay my bills, but I believe my heart needs this work to exist in the world even if no one buys it. I think think art needs to be created to exist in the world without the pressure of “will it sell?”

My work is priced based the cost of materials and time to make the handcrafted item.
