Manipulating fiber over and under the warps of a loom is my daily ritual — a meditation, a prayer, an antidote to doomscrolling. I take refuge in the tactile experience. Weaving also helps me navigate the world with intention and engage with my surroundings with deeper curiosity, training my focus on the colors and textures I encounter, usually on foot — whether the delicate nuances of a flower bud’s pigmentation or the contours of the clouds above. The openings in the center of my works are meant to serve as windows into these woven worlds. Fascination with place runs as a common thread through my life and builds on two decades as a writer and magazine editor for publications including National Geographic Traveler and Hidden Compass. I live and work in West Asheville in the home that I share with my husband, son, and dog.
