About Coco ✨

Coco is a fiber artist living off-grid near Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii, where she creates tufted landscapes inspired by Pele's spicy ever changing moods. From molten flows to hardened lava fields.

Working primarily with a vintage 1970s manual speed tufting tool, she has embraced the philosophy of slow art, finding that patience and presence reveal subtleties that rushing never could.

Her practice centers on the meditative rhythm of tufting, captivated by the magic of watching textures emerge through contrast and repetition. Each piece explores the profound balance between softness and strength that defines volcanic landscapes. The incredible tenderness of molten lava as it flows, transforming into solid, enduring rock. Through her work, Coco investigates softness as power, ritual as art, and repetition as transformation.

Coco shares her creative process through weekly studio vlogs, inviting viewers into her off-grid practice where vibrant colors and intentional textures come to life through slow, handmade fiber art. Her work appeals to collectors drawn to both the meditative qualities of fiber art and the powerful symbolism of volcanic inspiration.

"I'm obsessed with the power of the volcano and the balance between softness and strength. There's this incredible tenderness in fresh lava when it's molten and alive, then it hardens into solid, steady strength. That's the balance I seek in my work. Exploring softness as power, ritual as art, repetition as transformation. When I find that perfect rhythm with my tool, when it becomes an extension of my hand, the volcano practically tufts itself."
