textile art inspired by nature

Hello and welcome!

I’m Ann, a textile artist living in the South San Francisco Bay Area at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains. My art is inspired by a deep love of nature and the wildlife I encounter in the woods near my home and on my travels. Sustainability lies at the heart of my creative approach. I incorporate upcycled and repurposed materials in all of my work.

In 2020, I started hand-stitching one-of-a-kind appliqué and mixed media collages featuring my favorite birds and butterflies, and I’ve been happily occupied ever since.
