Artist Statement

I began Saori style weaving in 2009 but it was not until I acquired a traditional Saori loom that I experienced the freedom, self-expression and the beauty found in imperfection that is Saori weaving.

The rhythmic movements of hands and feet result in a meditative flow state where I connect to the unique spirit and individuality of each piece. The organic patterns and textures that emerge in the woven cloth are a reflection of my inner voice and capture the essence of the moment, resulting in personal emotive works of art.
