Snapdragon
About
I started Snapdragon with the goal of creating mythological, archetypal, and emotionally resonant works of art. Growing up, I gravitated to fiber art, beadwork, and embroidery: an affinity passed down from my great grandmother. Over the years, my passion for folk art and multicultural traditions inspired me to incorporate a wide range of cultural influences—Mexican, Haitian, Jewish and Middle Eastern, and Native American, among others. I am deeply inspired by the legacy of powerful female artists, such as Frida Kahlo, and culturally specific traditions such as Mexico’s Day of the Dead and Haiti’s Vodou flags and sequin work. I hope my artwork connects and communicates across cultural divides. Snapdragon pieces are artworks to treasure—marked by the hand that made it and by the energy surrounding its creation. I incorporate upcycled and reused materials as often as possible. I have sold my work at multiple galleries, stores, and craft fairs in Massachusetts, New York, and Colorado. My embroidery will appear in the 2026 documentary film Frida’s Gaze and an upcoming exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Snapdragons are my favorite flowers—bright, bold, and feisty—qualities I aspire to evoke with my original creations. I try to incorporate a little artistry and color in every part of my store, from the hand-scripted calligraphy on my banner to the lime-green tissue paper and contrasting ribbons I use to wrap each purchase. I use recycled fabric and repurposed decorative elements as much as possible.
