Hi, I’m Jolene. In 2019 I retired from my 27-year interior design career.

Hi, I’m Jolene. In 2019 I retired from my 27-year interior design career. The combination of a severe Achilles injury and the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic greatly inhibited my ability to do my job so I decided to put that phase of my life to bed. Life is full of ups, downs, twists, and turns. For me, the key to navigating life is knowing when to let something go and move down a new path.
That new path is the old art form of Macrame. I have always been interested in hand-arts (crochet, knitting, tatting, quilting), but I had never tried Macrame. Following my ankle surgery in 2019 and being forced to be sedentary for nearly a year, I needed something to excite and energize me, something to focus on other than my injury and the letting go of my long-time career. That meant learning something new…macrame. I fell in love with it. Macrame not only excited and energized me, but it also played well with my need to be creative and my obsession with details (I’m a Virgo, enough said 😊).
I am sure this path will also have its share of twists and turns, but I look forward to exploring it. It would mean a lot to me to have you explore this new path with me. You can keep up with this adventure by subscribing to my newsletter.
I am a macrame artist. I create eco-friendly, nature-inspired macrame products for those who enjoy the subtleties and randomness of life that can be found in fiber arts and the use of natural elements, color, texture, and balance. My products will add warmth, texture, and interest to that bare corner, tabletop or empty spot on the wal
I am a macrame artist. I create eco-friendly, nature-inspired macrame products for those who enjoy the subtleties and randomness of life that can be found in fiber arts and the use of natural elements, color, texture, and balance. My products will add warmth, texture, and interest to that bare corner, tabletop or empty spot on the wall that is calling out for something unique and special.
I am inspired by nature. Bringing the outdoors in adds warmth, interest, and calmness to an interior space. I bring those elements into my work at every turn. I also want to help protect our natural world. I do this through recycling and/or repurposing found materials. I use 100% recycled-cotton cords for most of my work and recycled-polypropylene for outdoor products. In my art and wall décor pieces, I will often incorporate a variety of materials like scrap fabric, selvage cut-offs, sustainable natural materials, found objects, repurposed objects, and anything else that inspires me at the time.
I transferred the skills I honed as an interior designer, the creative use of texture, scale, balance, and color, to my macrame art. As an Interior Designer, I also understand the need and desire to create a living environment that mirrors who you are and shows off your personality. My designs and products have an air of relaxed, casual sophistication that works well in a variety of settings and decors from countryside farmhouse to urban apartment settings, minimalistic to bohemian, eclectic to contemporary, simple and serene to fun and funky.
Creativity like personalities has no limits. Macrame is an art form that can take one in any direction one wishes to go. My goal is to create functional items and works of art that draw people in; inviting them to take a closer look, to explore, to imagine, and ultimately see something of themselves within the piece. .
I value quality, workmanship, integrity, and affordability in products I purchase, so I do my very best to provide those things for you. These four things set my products apart from others. I start with quality materials, then I am meticulous about the details and workmanship of the piece, so my clients are always assured of a quality pro
I value quality, workmanship, integrity, and affordability in products I purchase, so I do my very best to provide those things for you. These four things set my products apart from others. I start with quality materials, then I am meticulous about the details and workmanship of the piece, so my clients are always assured of a quality product. Affordability is also important. Providing good value for your hard-earned dollars is important to me. I accomplish this by offering a wide variety of quality, functional and/or artistic products in a wide variety of price points so anyone from a single, apartment dweller on a budget to an art collector looking to add something unique to their collection can find and purchase something they love.
I currently sell my products in Santa Fe, New Mexico at local and nearby Artisan Markets and Studio Tours or you may purchase them here on my website in the Shop or on Facebook.
