Even though so much of my time as an artist is spent working alone, I’m continually reminded how essential connection and collaboration are to my practice. This year, I had the privilege of working alongside so many thoughtful people and institutions through lectures, workshops, and markets.
First and always, I’m grateful for my customers—those who choose, in a fast-fashion world, to slow down, to value process, and to support handmade work. That choice means more than I can say.
Before fiber art, I was a graphic designer, where collaboration was simply part of the job—no room to be precious, lots of room to listen. I carried that mindset with me as I moved into textiles, and in 2025 it proved to be a gift. Each collaboration made my work—and my world—richer, deeper, and more expansive.
Here’s to learning from one another, making together, and stepping into 2026 with open hands and hearts.
