Urban Tapestries
Urban Tapestries is an ongoing series that uses California's urban birds to explore adaptation, survival, and our shared environment.
Selfie Wall 2.0
Originally performed at the StARTup Art Fair in San Francisco in 2025, this expansion transforms the Selfie Wall into an immersive space, inviting attendees to walk through layers of fabric, symbolizing the finding of identity and digital misinterpretation.
Entropy & Change
Entropy & Change uses Silicon Valley billboard ad campaign colorways to depict the classic California landscape and the urban wild life in action.
If Only
For the If Only series I source job titles from Linkedin and pair them with vintage needlepoint figures and birds.
The Stampede
In the middle ages the Unicorn was universally believed to exist. This made me wonder, what in contemporary times do we believe that is not real?
Quarantined Tigers
During San Francisco’s shelter in place I developed a body of work titled “Quarantined Tigers” where I needlepointed the observations of my 4 year old twins onto vintage tiger imagery.
Minnie Pearl
In 2019 I was very fortunate to be commissioned to create a 9’x15′ latch hook rug portrait of Minnie Pearl for the brand new Graduate Hotel in Nashville.
Running Stitches
This series is an extremely revealing and intimate journal of my life over a year long period of time.
Not Bad
Amy and I discovered we both had odd comments in our respective guest books from 20 years ago. We decided we’d collaborate, sharing some of our phrases, while both using floral imagery.
The Selfie Wall
The Selfie Wall is both literally a selfie wall and a performance piece that occurs in social media. It is a way to reclaim the identities that have been stripped by the autocorrect application: a ubiquitous program that exhibits a bias against nontraditional/non-Anglo Saxon names.
Redwork
The Redwork Series documents sometimes mundane details of my life as a parent.
Autocorrect Fails
This is Autocorrect Fails: a text based embroidery series that addresses the odd bias and culture of technology and social engagement.
Flags
My father was a vexillologist (flag collector). It interests me how flag design is steeped in metaphor and symbolism.
Needlepoints
Needlepoint is a sister to both embroidery and cross stitch but the difference is that you cover the entirety of your canvas with your stitches. It is for that reason that needlepoint is very slow.
