nature inspired textile art exploring the Japanese tradition of katazome

Bees, Bears, and Blossoms (detail)

I use the materials and techniques of katazome (paste-resist stencil dyeing) to capture my experience of nature. My materials—cloth, rice paste resist, soymilk, natural dyes and pigments—engage my senses. The process creates a centering rhythm and a space for reflection. This blog is a journal of that process.

Rising from the reeds

at the water's edge --

Heron's throaty staccato.
