About

I am a textile artist, educator, and writer based in San Marcos, Texas, where I teach at Texas State University and create from a home studio shaped by the rhythms of the San Marcos River and Edwards Aquifer. My artistic work explores what lies beneath the surface—both ecologically and symbolically—through Serti silk painting techniques that visualize aquifers, roots, and mythic underworlds.
My book Groundwork: Art Honoring the Aquifers documents a series of fifteen silk banners created in rhythm with lunar cycles and attuned to the subtle interplay of water, stone, and myth. I also publish the Subsurface Design Journal, a twice-weekly newsletter reflecting on ritual, sustainability, and the creative process.
My work integrates ancient symbols (especially from Minoan and Mediterranean traditions), sustainable textile practices, and seasonal archetypes. I believe art can be a form of divination—a way to listen to what the earth and the unconscious are trying to tell us.
