About
Roxanne Brodeur Young is an abstract artist, clothing and surface designer based in California, USA.
Roxanne's passion is working in creative connection to nature and Spirit to encourage development of relationships with the human and non-human world to live a more joyful and richer life. Her hope is that the bold colors and unique designs in her art and patterns will encourage those who wear her fabrics and see her art to inspirit the everyday.
Roxanne works closely with plants to develop deeper relationships with them to fully appreciate and utilize their energetic and physical medicine. She portrays her personal lessons and messages in her art through color, images and poetry. She harvests local plants from her private garden and community. She creates clothing and art pieces with natural fibers, plants and procion dyes.
Roxanne lives and works in between San Francisco, CA and the tiny, historic town of Isleton, CA on the Sacramento Delta.
