Magical fiber art for ancestral connection and underworld journeys

I work with wool and other natural fibers, bone, and plant medicines to create one-of-a-kind spirit dolls & talismans.

Though my primary craft is needle-felting, I’m also drawn to weaving, hand-stitching, and beadwork as forms of embodied ancestral remembering. For me, embracing these ancestral practices is deep spirit medicine. This slow, intentional handiwork opens a pathway to deeper ancestral connection and lineage healing.

Remembering & Reweaving

My creative explorations dance with themes of grief, loss, healing, ancestral connection, initiation, death, and rebirth. Creating has become a form of shedding and reweaving, as I unravel old stories and create space for new truths to emerge.

Each doll and talisman serves as a reminder and a compass, guiding me along the path of healing, self-discovery, and ancestral connection. They’re companions on this journey - vessels to hold the intentions and medicines that support me as I dive deep into the well of remembering.

Creating Pathways for (re)Connection

Exploring identity through art

I’m continually drawn to questions of identity and this is reflected in my work. As someone of mixed ancestry (my maternal lineage is Lingít & African and my paternal lineage is European), I have often struggled to find my place. In my art practice, I work with plants, animals, and stories that deepen my connection to my ancestors and strengthen my multicultural identity.

I believe that art is a form of reclamation. I recognize the role that colonization plays in personal and cultural identity loss and I create pathways for reconnection by crafting tangible objects with spiritual, ancestral, and cultural significance.

Plant spirits for ancestral connection

Each of my dolls contains a heart of intuitively chosen plant medicines. Some of the plant spirits I work with closely for ancestral connection include:

Yarrow

Mugwort
S’áxt (devil’s club)
Motherwort
Linden

Hawthorn
Calendula
Moss
Nettle
Kelp
Rose
