I usually draw in or choose colours before starting to sew each piece - but I had started this piece and done this drawing just in pencil to keep things simple, because I’d been traveling all last week.

Now that all the line work is complete it’s time to pick a colour! Going with my current pastel theme of purples and blues - which do you think suits this design best?

This week the smallest pockets of joy have been surfacing.

Meeting new people.

Slowing down.

Resting more.

Being present with myself.

Time spent more intentionally.

Since the new year began something has been quietly shifting within me.

A small voice inside myself showing me the path back to who I once was ❤️

#handsewnart #textileart #fiberart #artistlife #abstractart
I’ve always been drawn to cultural textile traditions where fabric or craft is never just decoration - but where it becomes something far more sacred.

There are two that stand out to me, and which I love the most in how they express symbolism through textile art. 

In Berber or Amazigh culture, rugs functioned as cultural storytelling pieces, with symbols representing protection, fertility, and daily life.
Similarly, Ukrainian embroidery is a deeply symbolic traditional craft featuring geometric and floral patterns that represent protection, fertility, and cultural identity.

In both traditions - textiles become vessels of energy.

They hold more than material they’re made of, or the technique used to create them - they hold the presence, emotion, and quiet prayers of the maker, and the people they’re created for.

And over the years, I love how that sense of symbolism has found a space in my own work.

When I create, I’m not thinking about decoration. I’m thinking about energy - and about how that energy wants to be translated.

With each original piece beginning intuitively - through linework, symbols, stitched forms, and carefully chosen colour, I respond to what I feel from a space, a moment, or sometimes a collector’s energy. 

The work becomes less about “making something beautiful” and more about allowing something to come through. And in many ways, I feel I’m recording what is sensed rather than inventing what is seen.

My intention is always the same:
To create works that hold presence.

Pieces that quietly anchor a room or quiet nook of your home.
Pieces that carry faith, memory, and spirit.
Pieces feel less like dĂŠcor - and more like something that belongs to you.

Because art, at its most powerful, doesn’t just fill a wall.

It holds a story.

And sometimes, it holds you too ❤️

A little backstory about this very special piece…

A longtime collector & retired philosophy professor approached me to create a commission for his home office.

When someone who has spent their life studying consciousness asks you to visually interpret “the philosophy of consciousness” - you pause for more than a moment 🤯

He wanted something mid-sized, thoughtful, subtle and intellectually layered.

A piece that would live in the room where he reads, thinks, and reflects.

And interestingly enough - I already had a drawing in mind.

Months earlier, I’d created a drawing that felt significant but I didn’t yet know who it belonged to. That’s usually how making my art unfolds - an idea arrives, I honour it, and then I wait for who or what it belongs to to appear.

When he shared the theme, I immediately knew who that drawing was for and the energy aligned perfectly.

For me, that’s the magic of commissions. It isn’t about “designing” something to fit a specific space, it’s about sensing the energy behind something that I know already exists.

I can feel when a drawing is meant for someone. I can feel which colours resonate. How much negative space is needed. Where tension should sit. Where stillness belongs.

Even though the line work is abstract and minimal - it somehow always makes sense to the person it was created for.

The finished piece is now titled:

“The Moment Before Consciousness.”

And there is no greater affirmation than a collector truly feeling seen through the work.

That’s why I love creating commissions for thoughtful spaces - studies, libraries, offices - places where art isn’t just decoration, but conversation.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to have a piece created specifically for your energy and your space - my commission list is quietly open.

Send me a DM and we can begin that conversation.

PSA: hi friends! I’m leaving this here as a pinned post for now - in case you missed this last week.

I don’t want any of my friends or followers who actually support and share my art with others to think I’ve blocked them or don’t want them to share my work.

I’m always eternally grateful when people love and share my work with others. That being said - hopefully these accounts that have been reposting pics of me are only bot accounts and I can get back to sharing my work with everyone soon 🤞
My 43rd birthday just passed…and sitting down this morning I realized it’s been 6 whole years since I picked up my old art supplies and asked myself, “what if I gave myself more time to be creative…?”

Since then, little by little, I found an artistic voice that suits me, sounds like me, and reflects the way I enjoy making art.

Little by little.
Step by next step.

Feeling and thinking how each layer, each step, and each practice fit together and how they feel tactically to perform.

I don’t believe finding your artistic voice is a step that can be rushed - it comes to you in increments and aha moments alike - but it definitely needs space and breathing room to grow and take shape.

It’s an experience that you won’t know you’ve found until you feel the “it’s the one” kind of moment.

You hit a groove, and it’s like gears shifting into place, maybe not smoothly at first - trial and error and experimentation still need their time.

But once you find it you will know.

Six years later and I’m still happy with my own artistic experience and practice…

The way the sunlight hits a newly finished piece when I photograph it, highlighting the texture of each stitch and line work - I’m still amazed that this beautiful image came from somewhere in my mind and that I brought it to life with my own hands.

Here’s to another year of making things that bring me joy - and another year of sharing that joy with all of you ❤️

#handsewnart #textileart #fiberart #artistlife #abstractart
I’ve lived with anxiety and depression for the majority of my life - and while some years are great, other years feel like they bottom me out.

2025 was one of those years. Every time I thought I’d found some footing and was moving forward - I’d end up losing it again.

Which made doing anything that required any real consistency a real challenge to say the least.

But last week I woke up on Monday - and the anxiety had shifted. I don’t want to jinx myself but almost a full week went by and I felt good.

If you’ve ever had ongoing anxiety - you know the relief it brings when it subsides - like you can finally think clearly again.

I don’t know if I’ll share this - or if I’ll share this and delete this later. I don’t often share about my challenges; the world has enough as it is and I try for this to be my small space for sharing joy.

I know artists make art for many different reasons - some of which to help them move through difficult times or experiences. But it’s almost impossible for me to create art if I don’t feel wholly connected to myself.

I can’t find the images or meanings - they don’t come to me when my brain is cluttered, and the ruminating thoughts are only exasperated with a meditative practice like hand-sewing.

And to be honest - my art for me is an homage to play and childlike wonder; it’s pure joy and energy in the most simplest of forms.

Hopefully this new wave of feeling good will progress and take shape, and move through this year with me, so that I may continue to share my joy here with you.

And if you’re feeling like I feel, or felt, maybe that joy will find you and help you feel or move forward in the most smallest of ways towards your own joy too ❤️

‘Red Remixed’ - the piece that taught me to trust the small beginnings.

This piece is one of the first sewn works I ever created. Long before I knew where my sewn art would ever take me.

I loved it so much that I turned it into a poster I could hang in my studio - to keep reminding me that my creativity grows when I let myself play, explore and begin again 😊

I love seeing it as I work; it brings me back to the moment I realized that my style of playful but slow, sewn, and intuitive work could unlock an entirely new direction in my artistic practice ❤️

Always will be my favourite piece ❤️❤️

Unfortunately, this piece is not for sale - it will be staying in my private collection, permanently.

But since I know it’s a favourite to so many it’s now available as a free print!

Grab yours at the link in my bio 😊❤️

To be honest, I never truly felt like myself until I started to create art (again) a few years ago.

I spent my 20s and 30s pursuing things that I thought I wanted…only to always be left feeling like I was living in someone else’s skin.

I wasn’t comfortable in my self and I didn’t feel grounded in myself as a person.

It’s hard to describe the feeling exactly…only that I was acutely aware of this sensation that something always felt “off” and when I met with others that felt so grounded in the people they were or were being - I was envious.

Turns out, when I look back at who those people are it’s no coincidence that they were artists themselves 😋

But coming back to being an artist, giving myself permission to follow that little nudge I had inside myself to create more, is exactly what I needed to find my self, and feel grounded (and happy on the inside) in who I was meant to be.

I spent much of my childhood growing up in my grandmother’s sewing studio, she was my favourite person in the entire world and helped me foster my sense of creativity at such a young age.

Looking back, I see that all those times I didn’t feel like “myself” were just signs to wake me up and make me realize that I wasn’t doing the thing I was meant to be doing.

When I finally gave myself permission to create art again. And that energy of the little girl I used to be - sewing her creations and seeing her dreams come to life - came back to me instantly.

Most of the time I still feel like that little girl now.

Running around the streets of Montreal with her doggie, adventuring and finding new things to explore, and drawing & creating the sewn pieces that the little girl I still am inside wants to create.

It’s a childlike sense of play, of innocence and joy, and an awe and amazement about this life that surrounds me, that still gets me excited every day.

A sense of happiness for the sake of happiness. And that is why I share my art now ❤️
