Welcome to Harmony Skye & A Family Legacy
This space is a living archive, a creative hub, and a tribute to the people, practices, and stories that shape me. I am an artist, educator, researcher, and fiber arts practitioner exploring how creativity can connect us across generations, cultures, and communities.
Here, you'll find documentation of my thesis work on the Fiber Arts Model of Engagement (FAME), reflections on my teaching practice, and glimpses into my own artistic journey rooted in both tradition and experimentation. Whether it's through crochet, curriculum, or conversation, everything I do is grounded in a belief that art is not just a product—but a process of care, legacy, and possibility.
This site weaves together family history, student stories, scholarly research, and creative expression. It’s a space where threads become narratives, and where education and making are part of the same lineage.
About the Archive
This digital archive honors the fiber artists in my family—women whose hands wove, stitched, crocheted, and created across generations. Their stories and works are preserved here not only as a testament to their artistry but also as a living archive that continues to grow.
My Inspiration
My love for fiber arts began with quiet moments—watching my grandmother crochet, or feeling the weight of a handmade quilt stitched by a great aunt. These memories became the seeds for my own creative journey, where fiber became both a material and a language of connection.
Why I Started This Project
This archive began as a way for me to reconnect with my family's legacy. I wanted to trace the threads of creativity, care, and resilience that have passed through our hands. In building this site, I hope to preserve, share, and celebrate the often unseen labor and love behind these handmade works.
The Vision for This Archive
This is just the beginning. Over time, I hope to add interviews, photographs, recorded stories, and even instructional techniques passed down in my family. I envision this archive as a growing, evolving space where our fiber legacy lives on and continues to inspire future generations.
DIY: Do It Yourself
Think of these pages as a "how to" in which you can explore these sub pages in order to find the many techniques and Traditions tied and utilized by my family of crafters and makers as well as by the broader community of Fiber artists and crafts people. DIY or "Do It Yourself" welcomes you into the world of making and invites you to feel the healing powers of connection.

I am a multidisciplinary artist, art educator, and researcher based in Chicago, dedicated to fostering creative spaces that are culturally responsive, hands-on, and rooted in community.
My love for fiber arts began with quiet moments—watching my grandmother crochet, or feeling the weight of a handmade quilt stitched by a great-great grandmother. These memories became the seeds for my own creative journey, where fiber became both a material and a language of connection. This early exposure to craft deeply shaped my belief in the power of intergenerational making and storytelling.
With a background in ceramics, fiber, digital media, and photography, I’ve spent over a decade working in classrooms, community centers, and arts organizations. I’ve designed and led visual arts curricula for learners of all ages, and my teaching experience spans elementary, middle, and high school levels—most recently in Chicago Public Schools.
In addition to my classroom work, I facilitate fiber arts workshops, lead community-based projects, and develop curriculum rooted in cultural heritage and personal narrative. I am especially passionate about helping young artists connect with their own identities and traditions through the act of making.
