I want to have control over the raw materials used I my artwork. That involves sourcing and growing wool to spin, dye, and weave into a textile or being able to be picky in where my materials are sourced.
A main focus of my artwork and products is to reintroduce the consumer to what goes into making the textiles they use in their day to day lives. I also want to find the meeting point of sustainability, function, and aesthetics.

Bailey Fiber Art Studio
Contemporary fabric wall art + vessels inspired by nature
I enjoy creating contemporary textural fabric art from hand-painted and manipulated fabric and found objects. Many of my pieces are Mandalas. My art is eco-friendly. I create with upcycled and repurposed items as much as possible. I am influenced by nature as well as African & Asian cultures. I am committed to bringing peace to the world through art.
