I used to be so troubled that it was so difficult to find bedding, curtains, and wallpaper for my home that felt timeless and reminiscent of the art style I admired so much from my graduate studies. Now it’s my dream to bring my meticulously hand drawn seamless repeating patterns to life on textiles around the world. Hopefully someday, someone longing to surround themselves with this classic and timeless aesthetic will have a little less trouble making their space feel like home.

By using post it notes, I can move sections over and over til the pattern feels balanced. It's so therapeutic and meditative to adjust the composition until it flows. It's like a puzzle in reverse!

Linden Lea, one of my favorite poems describes a "mossy moot" - an old, traditional gathering place; a long-standing community meeting spot with a sense of history and natural surroundings. This is exactly what I hope my designs evoke and inspire
“Within the woodlands, flow’ry gladed,
By the oak tree’s mossy moot,
The shining grass-blades, timber-shaded,
Now do quiver under foot,
And birds do whistle overhead,
And water’s bubbling in its bed,
And there for me the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea”~ William Barnes (1801-1886)
