As both a macro photographer and fiber artist, my work explores the intricate details and textures found in the natural world. Through my lens, I capture the beauty of tiny organisms and plant life, revealing the hidden worlds that exist all around us. My textile work is similarly inspired by the natural world, with intricate weavings and embroideries that reflect the shapes and patterns found in nature. By combining these two mediums, I hope to create a body of work that invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world we live in.
