"Ah, fiber! I love to touch and pull and card and layer and sometimes spin gorgeous wool roving. I love the scream silk makes when you tear it and the way it flows underwater. I love the slosh of the dyebath, watching the patterns in newly dyed fabric appear as I iron them, the rhythm of quilting, the dance of thread across the fabric's surface, the small boom as a needle pops through stretched fabric, and the way each work takes on a life of its own.

"Really I just love everything about what I do, except maybe cleaning up. It's sensory overload in the best possible way."
