About

I’m a textile and design enthusiast living in the Pacific Northwest. When I’m not weaving or making prints, you might find me in my kitchen making vegan nachos, at work managing revenue cycle and IT projects for healthcare organizations, or on the road–traveling more for fun than for work these days (huzzah!).

I’m on instagram @sidonie_s.

Or for Health IT/consulting inquiries, find me on LinkedIn.

Weaving

I’ve been known to return from trips abroad with an extra suitcase full of textiles (rugs especially!). I started weaving in 2012, and I work mostly on four- and eight-shaft looms, though I’ve dabbled in inkle weaving as well. I love trying new techniques, and I like to work with natural fibers.

I started out primarily interested in weaving rugs, but right now you’ll find a lot of fine wool yarns in my stash as I’ve been promising myself to move toward weaving garment fabrics.

Printmaking

I learned to printmaking as an undergrad at Grinnell College, and when I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I was delighted to find Corvidae Press, a community of talented artists working out of an non-toxic print studio in beautiful Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington. I’ve been a member since 2013, and currently serve on the board of the guild.

In printmaking as in weaving, I’m interested in experimentation and learning new techniques. I fell in love with monoprints unexpectedly, and have spent a lot of time printing with pressed and dried plants picked up on walks in the woods near my home.
