Ink + Sun grew out of a lifelong love of textiles - how they look, how they perform, and how they quietly shape our daily experience.
My work blends joyful watercolor art with thoughtful understanding of textile design, informed by years of experience in pattern development, material selection, and teaching. Alongside creating art and products, I serve as an adjunct faculty member at the New York School of Interior Design, where I teach interior design students about textile properties, end use, and sustainability.
That mix of making and teaching is central to how I work.
Some days, that looks like painting florals or woodland animals. Other days, it looks like developing fabric collections, building color palettes, or writing about why certain materials last longer, feel better, or simply work best in real life.
Ink + Sun exists at the intersection of playful creativity and professional knowledge. I create wallpaper and fabric inspired by nature, designed to bring warmth, joy, and a sense of welcome to everyday spaces.
I design with watercolor flowers, birds, and animals too
Decades of textile experience behind every pattern.

Things I love:
My Dogs! My big boy shepherd, Oboe is the best friend a girl could have.
Volunteering at a dog shelter. So many sweet dogs who need a little cuddling and play.
Dark chocolate. Don’t bring your milk chocolate ‘round here! I’m a chocolate snob.
Traveling here and abroad. There’s so much to explore (and such good coffee).
Doing nothing. Sitting on the porch looking out at the woods in back. The butterflies, bird song, and buzz of nature feeds my soul.
