My most beloved mediums...
To me, a home is its most beautiful when filled with creative projects that reflect the heart of its tribe. My artwork captures the nostalgia and relaxed style of my childhood in Canada, and bears a nod to collage, folk art, and historical traditions. At times, my hand drawn motifs feel naîve, whimsical, and poetic.
While designing patterns, I imagine how you will live with them and how they will become layers of your home's history. I aim to create memorable patterns brimming with personality, capturing movement, and reflecting a dedication to living artfully!
I am an artist and surface pattern designer working between my home in San Francisco and studio in Napa Valley.
I believe there is such loveliness in bringing beauty to every day products, and I continually strive to harness this spirit as I design my pattern collections.
Following 25+ years working as an account executive, designer, and merchandiser in the fashion accessories industry, I continue to be a creative entrepreneur, focusing on pattern design & visual art.
