The Inspiration
I imagine Margie resting in the heavenlies beside crystal‑blue waters, surrounded by perfect light.
My grandmother moved through life with ease—warm, authentic, and full of gentle humor. I remember her fondness for muumuus and the quiet grace she carried in everything she wore.
When designing the Margie Dress, I wanted it to embody that same sincerity. Untouched by trends or markets, it was created to offer comfortable elegance, modest beauty, and thoughtful design that feels timeless rather than fashionable.
The Fabric
Not silk.
Not Linen.
Something rarer.
Lotus Silk is an exceptionally rare luxury fiber, hand‑drawn from lotus stems. Smooth, lightweight, naturally lustrous, and breathable across seasons, it is antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and ethically crafted—reflecting the intentional beauty central to Source For Being.
Rare origin
Stem fibers harvested entirely by hand.
Breathable
Comfortable across changing temperatures.
Traditionally Revered
Long valued for qualities associated with calm, clarity, and well‑being.
Hypoallergenic
Naturally antibacterial and gentle on sensitive skin.
Fit & Features: Relaxed silhouette • Midi length • Adjustable ribbon tie • Wide neckline • Cap sleeves • Hand‑painted artwork
Style & Design Notes
Aurora Drift transforms an original painting into a one‑of‑a‑kind garment.
Its relaxed silhouette drapes naturally, allowing the Lotus Silk to move with quiet fluidity while the adjustable ribbon tie offers gentle shaping when desired. Every brushstroke is applied by hand, allowing the painting to become part of the fabric itself rather than simply resting upon it.
The result is a piece that feels equally at home in a gallery, a gathering, or moments of quiet everyday beauty.

Intuitive Process
Bring forward through layers
While I am painting constantly in my mind, when I do get a chance to stand before a canvas, most often I load it up with paint and stand back. To study. Interact. To be emotional and seek what is there.
Expression
From literal art translation to rendered patternwork
The artful journey is never over, at least not for me. There may be times of rest, but no peice ever becomes barren of inspiration.
Beauty Within
Intuitively inspired design and curated possibilities
Thoughtfully sourced and created collections to compliment uniqueness and ignite a spirit of creative beauty.
