Aurora talks the art of weaving w/ The BH Hub!
"Atlanta native and Northern California resident, Joanna Harris (Aurora), began weaving macrame jewelry in 2009 while backpacking across Central and South America. Her fiber art is greatly influenced by her time spent in the Amazons of Colombia and Ecuador, particularly along the banks of the Amazon river, and this force can be felt in the fluidity and earthiness of her artwork. There was no one individual who taught her this elaborate art of fiber art, and her work is a reflection of all the beautiful souls that she has met, and who have shared with her their gifts along the way.
In the winter of 2019, Aurora expanded her repertoire and began making macrame home decor. The following Summer in 2020, she gave birth to her son, Raiden Phoenix, and simultaneously the macrame brand “String and Hearts” was also born. Her craft is a labor of love, intention, and devotion to harnessing chi. Her mission is to cultivate beauty and a sense of peace through all the avenues of creative expression.
Aurora enjoys dancing, cooking, working from home, traveling, live music, deep conversations, and nurturing people physically, spiritually, and mentally in her spare time. “I’ve come to share my gifts with the world, to inspire people, and to be a source of light to those who would seek it. My art is a reflection of the ineffable beauty which I constantly see and feel around me, and I am blessed to be a medium through which all this energy can flow.” - Aurora Amina.
