About the Artist Janessa Fortes Bautista is a textile artist, clothing designer, natural dyer, and devoted plant ally. Her journey with natural dyeing began 25 years ago, sparked by a deep fascination with the vibrant pigments that can be coaxed from plants and insects—a sense of wonder that continues to inspire her today. Although Janessa considers herself a lifelong student of the plants, she has spent many years sharing her expertise by teaching dyeing, believing it to be an essential, accessible skill for everyone—much like hemming pants or mending clothing. She is a strong advocate for repairing and modifying garments rather than buying new ones, encouraging a mindful and sustainable approach to fashion and textiles.
