Hi and welcome to my universe :)
So happy you found me!
I'm a textile artist obsessed with exploring the natural world, and curious to a fault. That digging, after so many years, has led me to some truly beautiful places. I love any kind of meditative, repetitive process: embroidery, weaving, sewing, pattern making, hand pleating. But my deepest love of all is natural dyeing, the ancient art of extracting color from plant materials. It's endlessly intriguing because it's nearly impossible to repeat any color exactly, so like an unrequited love, I keep chasing this enigma. The chase can drive me mad with frustration, but once I've caught the color I was after, it's deeply satisfying. These slow, hands-on art forms have taught me a lot about myself, and about how connected this universe we live in truly is.
I founded and ran the artisanal brand Mexchic for 20 years, but after so much time, I felt I needed the space and freedom to explore a more personal creative journey. I now focus my time on making art works and creating extremely special one of a kind pieces to wear, which you can find here in my online shop and in good time, within a few beautiful stores.
Most days you'll find me in my studio in Oaxaca sewing up a storm and at night working more slowly on embroidered and woven pieces at my kitchen table, while cooking something delicious and listening to to a juicy classic novel. Brideshead Revisited narrated by Jeremy Irons is my hands down favorite of all time.
If you have any questions, send me a note, I'd love to hear from you!
