I dye and ecoprint cloth and paper using ecologically sustainable local leaves, flowers, and pigments. These techniques transfer brilliant and unexpected plant colors and images to repurposed and redesigned cloth. As a textile artist, writer, and physician, I believe that hand marked fabric and cloth is ‘everyday art’ that can wrap and heal the body and spirit. Throughout my life I have rebirthed cloth with thread, color, and design, as quilts, garments, and fabric collage. With these explorations, I am stitching a connection between the bountiful land of our SF Bay area and the everyday artful living of our families and community. Generations of hands touch thread and cloth, to create a piece of cloth. Honoring these history laden cloths, I upcycle discarded fabrics for rebirth and reuse telling a new story of connection between place, fiber, and family. Using natural dye products extracted from the earth and plants, I breathe new life into these designed cloths, transforming them into beautiful articles to be touched, worn, and gazed upon by their owners. This manipulation of cloth mirrors the work of life– to honor what has come before yet continuously reinvent ourselves anew.
