From my early collections

This first collection was inspired by Dr. Suess. I had just started my first semester in textile school and knew nothing about pigments, techniques or even the process. In this first collection I tried my hand at discharge and quickly found out what types of fabrics are receptive to this technique. As soon as I finished this project, I knew that I had found my passion of textiles and surface design.


The grey stripes are discharge on silk blend. The black Suess flowers are standard screen printing inks.


The below is pigment discharge on a cotton blend poplin.

Grid Pattern

I love lines made into a grid pattern and filled in with color.
