Design

Using my own hand dyed organic fabric to make clothing of my own design is thrilling. Color is my main creative passion! I love attempting to recreate a color that is in my mind such as a brilliant blue green

I’ve always been fascinated by the sublime of celestial objects, the enormity of outer space and the thrill at the thought of space travel.  Science fiction and real life space exploration inspires the clothing designs I create for Vivid Element.

Here are the 12 dresses I created in 2016 for my New Dress Challenge – which was to create a new dress every month for a year.

A recent article on NPR’s Science Friday describes the plants astronauts are growing in the space station, including Space Zinnias – it inspired this design!
