About the Maker

For over fifteen years, I've been weaving stories into fabric. What started as a hobby in my grandmother's attic has blossomed into a full-time passion. Each piece I create is hand-woven on my century-old loom, using sustainable fibers sourced from local farms. I believe in slow fashion—textiles that tell a story, that improve with age, and that connect us to the hands that made them. My work is inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround my studio, where the changing seasons paint new color palettes across the landscape. Every thread I choose, every pattern I weave, is a meditation on craft, sustainability, and the beauty of handmade goods. When you purchase one of my pieces, you're not just buying a textile—you're investing in a tradition that spans generations and supporting a more thoughtful, connected way of living.
