Yara speaks six languages and lives with her family in the Jura region west of the Swiss Alps. Jim loves languages and works from his studio north of Nashville, where he's transitioned to this current work from a thirty plus year stint at America's letterpress icon, Hatch Show Print.

They had known each other for over twenty years before becoming collaborators. Yara reworks the intricate patterns found in Jim's art made from his linoleum and woodcuts, creating bold, colorful patterns for textiles. Mutually inspired by the balance of design found in nature, each fabric is a testament to the inspiration Jim has found in the aesthetics of antique utilitarian items such as Moroccan tiles or a Mediterranean rug.
