Inspired by the lush flora of Denia/Valencia, my work blends textile art & sustainability. Employing eco-friendly materials, I weave a narrative echoing nature's dialogue with art.

My exploration delves into patchworking with vintage/recycled materials, tufting, weaving, embroidery, & Mediterranean sand. Each piece epitomizes sustainability, breathing life into forgotten materials.

Hand embroidery adds a personal touch, honoring crafting traditions and fostering a bond between creator & creation. This meticulous process weaves a tender narrative mirroring the inspiring flora.

My journey aims to harmonize art & the environment. Each thread and hue resonates with nature's cadence, creating a contemplative space where art and sustainability converge with beauty & purpose.
