Artist. Mama. Creator. ✨
Crafting in the Lava Zone
In the heart of Hawaii's Lava Zone, where ancient meets new, I weave stories through textile art that honors the spirit of these sacred islands. As both an artist and mother, I find joy in exploring the intersection of Hawaiian craftsmanship and modern fiber art, currently bringing new life to traditional lei-making and tufted rugs through up-cycled materials.
Working from my self-built, off-grid studio, each piece I create is a meditation on sustainability and transformation. My current focus on up-cycled lei art speaks to both the beauty of Hawaii and environmental consciousness, while my upcoming volcanic-inspired pieces will capture the raw energy of Kilauea's landscape.
Studio Life & Community
Through my weekly newsletter, I share intimate glimpses into life as a creating mama, offering behind-the-scenes peeks at my artistic process and honest reflections on balancing creativity with motherhood. My evolving journey includes exciting new projects that will help build and nurture our growing community of mother artists.
Life in the Hawaiian Jungle
When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me with my beloved family – my hubby Bubba, our little one Eena, and our companion Banjo Girl – as we continue building our tiny home in the Hawaiian jungle from scratch. This hands-on approach to life mirrors my artistic practice: authentic, sustainable, and deeply connected to the natural world.
