It is a meditative process that aligns with the chakras and the way I give them life. It begins with an emotion, transforms into a drawing, and ultimately becomes a rug painting

Using a punch needle, I work entirely by hand—each gesture a rhythmic act of repetition and intuition.

This is the drawing, the initial sketch where everything takes form; to a rug or drawing.

Dyeing is my way of giving it life. From the careful selection of color to the alchemy of mixing and stirring dyes, I search for the perfect hue. One that breathes light into the work.

Yarn is the primary material used to create the rugs, often dyed by hand, and I never repeat a color once it runs out.

The rug is the outcome of the process and materiality, projecting the energy I feel and see. Often the very energy I embody
