HELIOS HANDWOVEN was born of a passion for creative expression and detailed craftsmanship.

​

Like so many others, I found myself stuck at home and disheartened in the early days of the pandemic. As a way to pass the time and redirect my anxious energy into something fulfilling, I asked my Dad if he could make me my very own loom. Ever since my first warp of the loom, I felt a sense of calm wash over me as I entered into a meditative flow state. Hour by hour, a beautiful, intricate tapestry emerged from my homemade floor loom, sparking a sense of pride I couldn't wait to share. My family couldn't believe what I had accomplished!

​

That sense of achievement compelled me to continue pursuing fiber arts despite being confined to my home. As I shared photos of finished pieces on social media, I received an outpouring of interest from friends, family members, and former colleagues who asked if I could make them tapestries of their own. I felt so humbled by their support and belief in my newfound talents. From the isolation and uncertainty of lockdowns bloomed this profoundly fulfilling passion. While our world opens back up, I've made the personal decision to nurture my love of weaving into what I hope will be a fulfilling second chapter.

​

At Helios Handwoven, I strive to infuse warmth, craftsmanship and artistry into tapestries suitable for any space. From bold abstract wall hangings, to delicate landscapes, to tapestries featuring motifs with personal significance, every piece starts first in my imagination before taking tangible form on the loom.

​

I sincerely hope my passion comes through in the finished work. Weaving has my heart - I'd love to share more about this art form with fellow fiber arts lovers, customers, and collectors alike!
