Hi there! I'm Whitney, a passionate creator of sewn abstract art, residing in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. My artistic journey has been a colorful one, filled with inspirations drawn from nature and my experiences. 

I've always had an affinity for art and design, which led me to pursue a career in fashion. With a focus on bridal, I honed my skills in fashion design while studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design. After graduating, I set off on an exciting adventure that took me to the bustling streets of New York City, where I worked as a wedding gown designer. It was during my time in the bridal sector that the art of sewing truly became ingrained in my creative process.

Over the past 15 years, our family has had the opportunity to explore various corners of the country. From Charlotte to Savannah, from Philadelphia to our current home outside of San Francisco, each move has enriched my perspective on life and art. Living in California, surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges, rolling morning fog, and serene sunset beaches, nature has become an integral part of my creative process. The environment and the importance of sustainability hold a special place in my heart, influencing my artwork and the way I approach life as a whole.

What sets my art apart is the blend of my non-traditional background and the array of materials I utilize. While I didn't follow the conventional path of studying to be a painter, I bring a unique perspective to my creations. Beginning with acrylic and watercolor paints on un-stretched canvas, I weave in hand-painted and handmade papers, along with delicate touches of gold and silver leaf. Every artwork is then finished with my distinctive signature touch—sewing machine stitches that infuse depth, texture, and a sense of fluidity into each piece.
