“Foraging for materials within the seasons, my work is quite literally tied to the cycle of the natural world. Basketmaking has a communal history in nearly every culture on the planet. When I weave, I feel linked to this collective history of civilization; a time when we had respect and a deep, generational knowledge about the self sustaining systems of the earth”

Because my basketry work is made from hand harvested plant materials, it can be difficult to ship across international borders. At this point, I am only offering shipping on these items within Canada. Please contact me directly for a shipping quote. Pick up /drop off on lower Vancouver Island can also be arranged.
