Color is a powerful means of expression, and I love exploring it through fiber and fabric.

I’ve always been drawn to the rich tones of embroidery floss, the vibrant hues of dyed wool roving, and the endless gradations in quilt store thread displays.

Growing up in NYC’s Greenwich Village I was making wearables and wall hangings by the age of ten. As a teen I took wool spinning, weaving and natural dyeing classes at The Craft Students League.

Since those early endeavors I’ve continued to explore color through quilting, embroidery, macramé, wool felting and fabric marbling.

Now I make sculptural textile necklaces: bold spirals of richly colored grosgrain ribbon.

These often include natural materials like wood and stone, and frequently feature asymmetry for dramatic effect. But their defining feature is–first and foremost–color, and I find inspiration everywhere around me.

What we choose to wear says so much about us. I love designing pieces that let spirited women express themselves in vivid color!
