May I Join You?

Handmade Viscose Fiber Paper Felted onto a Wool and Silk Base, with a Movable/Removable Needle Felted Bird

Feel surrounded by the power and beauty of trees by wearing this ruana. Is the bird asking, “May I join you ?” Or is it the wearer asking that question of the trees?

Artist's Statement:

Wearing my clothing is to wrap yourself in a piece of art. Each of my pieces incorporates a unique fusion of textures, materials and colors. These elements come together as I create the fiber. While I may begin with an idea and color direction for a piece, the flow of the materials guides my process to the finished product.
I want clients to feel a sense of joy wearing my work.
