Step 2

I'll send a written proposal outlining the concept, material direction, approximate dimensions, timeline, and investment. No obligation to proceed.

Material sourcing

Step 3

Once we agree on the direction, I begin sourcing the specific reclaimed materials that will carry the right weight and history for your piece. This stage can take two to four weeks depending on what we're looking for.

Weaving

Step 4

The work is woven entirely by hand on my floor loom. I share progress images throughout. For larger works, I may arrange a studio visit.

Every commission begins not with a loom, but with a conversation. I make handwoven textile works for collectors, interior designers, architects, and institutions who want something that carries genuine meaning — built from materials with a history, and made to last.

Whether you have a clear vision or simply a feeling, I will work with you to find the right form for it.

Commissioned works are fully bespoke. That means the dimensions, palette, material choices, and conceptual direction are developed in direct response to you — your space, your story, or the story you want to tell within it.

I work with reclaimed and found materials: vintage linens, discarded denim, deadstock yarns, plant-dyed fibres, and industrial offcuts. No two commissions share the same material palette. That specificity is the point.

Previous commissions have included:

Large-scale wall works for private residences in Toronto and London
Site-specific installations for gallery and hospitality spaces
Intimate framed pieces given as significant personal gifts
Corporate art acquisitions for reception and boardroom environments

Commission pricing is determined by scale, material complexity, and timeline. As a guide:

Small works (up to 40 × 40 cm): from CAD $800
Medium works (up to 80 × 100 cm): from CAD $1,800
Large and site-specific works: quoted individually

A 50% deposit is required to begin. The remaining balance is due upon completion, before delivery. I accept payment by e-transfer, credit card, or bank transfer.

Please note: current commission lead time is approximately 10–14 weeks from deposit. I take a limited number of commissions each year to ensure each piece receives the attention it deserves.
