Lauren Wheeler is the natural dyer and eco-printer behind Vive Textiles - a small business that sprouted from a passion project in her kitchen about 3 years ago when she discovered that you can imprint patterns and dyes of actual plants and flowers onto fabric. It’s been her obsession ever since! She finds joy in creating one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art harnessed from flowers and plants grown in her very own backyard garden here in Bend.
