My first textile design project that I made into a garment focused on the solar eclipse which passed over our summer house in Nebraska. We were not only on the path of totality, but sitting on the meridian that bisects the continental United States.

I used watercolor and batik to design fabrics that celebrate the worms that compost my used clothing. I titled the series Vermiculture and a shirt made from the fabric was exhibited at the International Textile and Apparel Association 2024 Juried Design Exhibition in Long Beach, CA.
Vermiculture
The smallest plant at the bottom of the San Marcos River, I have found the pennywort to be an inspiring shape and used it to develop a textile that I have incorporated into quilts and garments.d.
