An Architect for the Future of Eco-Textiles
THE ECO-ARTIST
Asher T. Sinclaire is a Digital Eco-Artist who is an eco-textiles advocate, designer, and speaker. As an accomplished photographer, he turns natural imagery into captivating designs and prints them on natural eco-textiles. He is inspiring the sustainable community with technology and creativity.
THE PROCESS
Each textile design starts with a walk with Nature observing the patterns in the environment. Natural colors and textures are the inspiration for all of the designs. Once a unique phenomenon is witnessed it is documented by creating digital images. These images are taken back to the studio to be cataloged and by using software the images are customized to create unique textile designs.
ECO-TEXTILES
Eco-textiles are ethically and sustainably produced natural materials such as hemp, linen, cotton, silk, and wool that are certified organic and free of harmful substances.

Eco-Art
Butterfly Crystal
Seven Springs, Arizona fills the soul.
The Chalcedon Checkerspot Butterfly,
Lupine, and Thistle dance,
in the breeze of a spring day.
The Amethyst sings enchanting folklores.
Cherry Blossom Vista
Gazing into the vast distance,
from the Mogollon Rim outside of Payson, Arizona.
An ocean of pine trees and fresh air.
At the confluence of Tonto and Horton Creeks,
the cherry blossoms and daffodils bloom.
Recharging the senses and opening the mind to the unknown.
Always in Motion
Moments flow on Oak Creek in Sedona, Arizona.
Leaves impress the senses.
Magical moments burning inside.
Pigments explode to the surface.
Roses in the Sky
For those who love Arizona,
from Sonoran skies to desert critters,
lush foothills to scenic rivers.
From stunning saguaros to vibrant flowers,
glowing sunsets to monsoon showers.
