I invite you to be radiant...

I invite you to celebrate the divine feminine...

I invite you to use the expression of the "second skin", to dress with reverence...

I created KavaThreads to dress human beings in clothing with soul.

To tell a story with the fabulous art of adornment.

Each piece in the KavaThreads collection has been hand painted and block printed by yours truly - an offering from my heart to yours.

And to honor your beautiful skin, and the planet it's in, it somewhat goes without saying that I would choose only the

SOFTEST, KINDEST, most deliciously SUSTAINABLE fabrics/"canvases" I can source.

It is pretty hard to feel beautiful dressed in fast fashion that would cause Mama Earth or her inhabitants to cry.

Life is too beautiful, too precious to spend our days hidden in clothing made by corporations, caught in the tide of style trends that speak nothing of the heart.

I want you to feel beautiful as well as look beautiful...

I want you to shine with elegance, with grace, with comfort...

May all your divine faces within find a voice of expression..

from your sexy rocker chick...

to your garden fairy spirit...

to your barefoot beach goddess...

to your wander-lusting nomad...and on and on.

So may you radiate...

And in your glow may you inspire another soul that may have forgotten...

May we inspire each other to celebrate beauty.

Design born, and reborn... sketched and re-sketched... cloth washed and dried... outline drawn freehand on cloth...dried in sun...hand painted with a brush and my recycled almond butter jars of paint...dried in the sun...if called for, repeated on the back...dried in the sun...block printed with our own hand carved, hand painted prints...dried in the sun...heat pressed to fix the paints so it can be machine washable...if needed washed and dried once again...then off to market to clothe human beings in art.

Crazy?

Absolutely...but I love it!

My designs are simply a reflection of the whorl of life.  

Tapestries of journeys, music, artists, epiphanies, places and faces, the magic and the science of this magnificent universe, a good cup of coffee, a deep teary laugh...and then some...

All woven into a story on cloth.

The legendary Kava Kava, known by many names throughout the South Pacific Islands, gave rise to countless ceremonial traditions and lore.  One common thread is that this sacred plant was believed to be a gift from the Gods, and when consumed brings a state of love and peace to one's being.

I truly hope my art can bring even a Thread of this bliss to your heart...KavaThreads.
