BAILEY
CONSTAS
Watercolor, ink, fiber, and natural dye.
From my garden to the canvas, I believe in art that heals us and the land.
I grow dye plants like Indigo and Red Hopi Dye Amaranth in my garden—or harvest soil or invasive plants in my region—to create natural dye, pigment, and Earth-friendly art supplies.
Using only natural fibers, I tuft rugs, pillows, and more soft home goods and upcycle paper into functional design.
ARCHIVE SALE
It’s official, there are only a few weeks left until baby comes and I need to make room. Cleaning out my flat files, I found some of my early works that brought up so many memories. I want to share these moments with others. I hope you can find peace, intrigue, or connection from this work.
The goal is to share and make room mentally and physically, so all pieces are under $100 and some as low as $10!
