❣️ I’m so excited to share that I’ll be teaching at Burlington City Arts Studios in the spring ❣️ I’ll be offering a few fiber art classes: macra-weaving (knot tying + weaving basics to create your own tapestry) and my usual coil-b
I leave for Japan in 2 weeks!! A li’l reminder that I have a GoFundMe set up (🔗 link in bio 🔗) for anyone who is able to support my trip in some way shape or form. For every $100 donation, I’ll be making a weaving inspired by the resid
A few weeks ago or so, I bought a desk for myself for the first time in my life. Hard to believe, I’m sure. This sporadic writer has always worked at the kitchen table, the couch, and in my days traveling while studying, the bars of hostels, th
Every year in Vermont, there’s an attempt at predicting Peak Foliage—a term used loosely for the week, more or less, when the colors of deciduous trees are most saturated. Shades of red, orange, yellow braided through the Green Mountains
One year sober today 💫 365 days of stardust and pure anxiety, truth seeking, “doing the best I can,” beginning again, following to the roots and following through, in nature and in movement, high off my own breath, that hard work kind o

Never ceases to amaze me the impact of changing up yer environment and routine. Out of (my) town this week and tried a new-to-me* basketry technique, inspired by a photo my father sent of an orb weaver 🕷️ in his garden. In making this one 🌀 I thoug
An unexpected visit to Burlington, I was like a moth to the current exhibition at @btvcityarts — Jacob Hashimoto: a lowercase sky. Must see IRL.
(A fraction of my works≈in≈progress) weaving into onion bags from my day job, incorporating beads and obsessing over trying to break out of basketry, half a grieving moon, wool I bought for free from a yogi, getting cut up from smelly hem
There was a time not too long ago when art was my entire life. In my 20s, I worked as a production assistant to an artist, at a traditional craft school, and for most of my career up until a couple years ago, at a fine arts school where I received

I’ve been hearing from many friends that they’re overstimulated, and the reaction has looked like disassociation, isolation, ghosting, purging of objects, break ups, leaving jobs, moving. Sometimes all at once. I see some of these reactio

“I love drawing and painting landscapes from memory or feeling, but I needed to communicate more than that after a while. I wanted to express what I couldn’t express with paint. It needed to be quick and easily shared. The shift happened in 2016 with the Presidential election. Suddenly everything felt more urgent.”

“Since women’s stories have historically gone untold, or our narratives dictated by male creators, it feels all the more important to me that I get out there and write, as well as support the work of other women.”

“I spent a long time in my early art making trying to find out what ‘my thing’ was and who I was as an artist. At first, I thought who I was as an artist had to be connected to being a womxn and I forced my way through that narrative. All of the pushing I did felt wrong, clumsy and heavy handed, so I stopped; which is when my work began to take form. I followed my material preferences, started to combine processes and began reading whatever interested me.”

“Jewelry is so wonderfully personal. It’s gifted and passed down, it symbolizes love or achievement. It’s saved up for, holds secret meaning. It takes on the shape of its wearer and it carries the scars and flaws gained during the time it’s worn. I think the transformation that jewelry goes through, and the meaning that it’s imbued with, is very romantic and can only happen if someone else possesses it.”

“I try not to compete. I think this system drives us all crazy and we have to protect ourselves. I experiment with different discourses. Like we have to resist, but what does the dramaturgy of resistance really look like? We can’t wear ourselves out. We have to be allies. We have to hold space. We have to protect one another.”

"Usually I am looking for water, unobstructed wild looking places akin to that childhood. Water bellies all, is us, makes us possible. And I am always looking for light. Seeking it. Doing light research. Waiting for it or the lack thereof."
