A palette of denim blues and inky indigos brings calm and clarity. The stitched forms drift and rest against handmade paper, echoing river stones, seedpods, or quiet constellations. Text from the recycled book pulp peeks through softly — a whispered history held within the surface.

The Anchored series is a quiet celebration of grounding — a visual reminder of steadiness, presence, and the gentle strength that comes from knowing your roots.

Each piece begins with hand-formed paper made from reclaimed book pages, creating a textural surface flecked with fragments of past stories. Salvaged fabrics are layered and stitched into place using free-motion machine work — a fluid, intuitive technique that allows the thread to move like thought, breath, or memory across the surface.

Organic shapes settle into place like stones in water or petals resting after wind — a stillness that holds motion inside it.

Matted to 16x20 for easy framing, these works offer a moment of quiet: an invitation to soften, arrive, and remember what holds you steady.
