Grace has been learning her craft of fiber arts since 2015. She began with knitting, followed by spinning, which eventually led to weaving and dyeing.

Grace’s Artist Statement:

My work is exploratory.  The act of creation with fiber arts is more about the process than the end product. I begin my work often from the raw material, then design yarn or place wool for felting, and can still plan multiple projects from the yarn I can create. I search for locally sourced materials, using wool and alpaca from local regions.  I seek to use yarns manufactured in NC. Using local materials keeps me grounded, and helps me feel more connected to my local community. 

As a former interior designer, my intent is to create practical textiles used in interiors. I am interested in weaving rugs, upholstery, blankets, table linens, tapestries, throw pillows, coverlets, and hand towels.
