CONTEMPORARY FIBRE ART
CONNECTED TO NATURE

​​I am a textile artist creating sustainable fibre art deeply connected to nature, material and seasonal cycles. By combining traditional textile techniques with a contemporary approach, my work is grounded in rural life — in the quiet rhythms, textures, surfaces and raw honesty of the surrounding landscape.

​​

Practice, Materials and Sustainability

I combine these visions with natural materials and local sources of wool from my flock of fibre animals. As for felting, I use “homegrown” fibre, my woven and tufted tapestries are made of textile waste materials. Creating more sustainable art allows me to highlight our ecological and social responsibilities as artists. Working with materials whose origins I know allows the artworks to carry traces of place, season, and landscape. 

​

Rather than replicating nature, I translate its presence — growth, change, and seasonal movement — into textile and material language.  A close relationship with time, land, and fibre shapes my slow, process-led practice, exploring the connections between maker and material, landscape and body, tradition and contemporary expression.

Teaching & Online Courses

​Alongside my artistic practice, I teach a range of workshops and courses, mainly in felting techniques but also in other creative areas. Teaching allows me to share traditional textile knowledge and encourage others to explore creativity through making. I also have experience working as an art teacher. Currently I am running two online courses - "Textures & Surfaces" and "The Art of Felting" for individual learners, while continuing to offer in-person workshops that support hands-on learning and creative exchange.

Exhibitions & Memberships

I have actively participated in local and international exhibitions in recent years. My artworks have been exhibited in Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States, as well as on several international online exhibition platforms.

I am a member of the International Feltmakers Association, the Finnish Felt Association Filtti, the Nordic Textile Art Organisation, and the Estonian Textile Artists’ Association.
