My collage-style textile art is inspired by Utah's native plants and the stories they tell about resilience. My favorite subject is the Munro's globemallow—a vibrant wildflower whose brilliant orange blooms thrive in dry, rocky landscapes when many other plants cannot. Its ability to flourish in difficult conditions serves as both a visual and personal reminder of perseverance.
Using scraps of fabric, layered textures, and free-form stitching, I built this botanical portrait to celebrate the beauty of native ecosystems. Transforming discarded textiles into something new, echoing nature's own cycles of renewal. I invite my viewers to slow down, notice the plants often overlooked along trails and roadsides, and discover the extraordinary beauty found in resilience.
