I make tie dye because I’m interested in what happens when you give up some control and let the process speak for itself. Every piece starts with intent by folding and binding, but the dye has its own agenda. That tension between plan and surprise is where the work comes alive for me.

​

I’m drawn to patterns that feel organic, geodes, waves, fractals, sunbursts, the kind of things you see in nature if you slow down. Living in oklahoma, I’m surrounded by big skies, storms, and prairie color that shifts by the hour. That palette also shows up in my work. Rust and thunderstorm blue, sun faded orange, deep cedar green.

​

I’m not just making shirts or tapestries, I’m trying to catch movement and memory in fabric.

Color , chaos, and control all at once.
