Printmaking

Printmaking With Natural Dyes — Coming Soon!

My latest personal work has been experimenting with natural materials to make printmaking dyes for fabric and paper. I am interested in conserving and respecting our environment, and utilizing the resources that are available to us rather than the toxic materials so many art products are made of. I am also interested in reusing and mending instead of buying new, and I hope to teach these methods of DIY as a means to reconnect with nature and disconnect from our material and consumerist culture.
