I have been in the fashion business for more than 20 years. I started plant dying about nine years ago and have taken various workshops in Toronto (George Brown), Vancouver (Maiwa)and Perth. I have also developed many new ways of expressing the art form of eco printing and natural plant dyeing. I am also a fully qualified yoga instructor in Peterborough Ontario. I have shown my work at various craft shows including: The Peterborough Regional Farmers Market, Cabbage Town Arts and Craft Show, Stoney Lake Arts and Craft Show, Mariposa, The Toronto Yoga Show, One of a Kind Show Toronto, Signatures Show Ottawa The Toronto Yoga Show, Hillside, Windsor Arts and Crafts and The Peterborough Folk Festival. In order to share what I love most, I offer workshops in Peterborough where I have a following of interested clients and enthusiasts.

Suzanne’s clothing has been described as wearable art using classic and contemporary designs to compliment people of all shapes and sizes. Her products are fun, dynamic, colourful, unique, and affordable.
Using plant dyes and local foliage, she creates one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate nature and sustainability. Organic, non-GMO fabrics such as hemp, cotton, modal, merino wool, and silk are used because natural dyes work best with natural fibers. Plant dyes (either collected or sourced) such as black walnut, marigold, and golden rod are boiled and used to dye clothing.
