Whitney Evergreen is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of The Bamboo Closet, a female owned and operated textile art sanctuary devoted to crafting vibrant, hand dyed silk dance props and apparel.

With a background in performance art, classical dance, anthropology, color theory, and textile design, Whitney weaves these disciplines into her creations and immersive experiences. Her work honors the soul’s innate capacity for authentic self-expression through color, movement, and ritual.

Whitney has been dancing and performing since the age of four. In 2009, she fell in love with the art of textile dyeing and has spent years refining her craft. In 2015, she discovered circus flow arts, a pivotal moment that fused her love of textile artistry with her devotion to embodiment through dance. She has since performed and guided movement workshops at art and music festivals, retreats, and private gatherings across the Pacific Northwest and internationally.

Since 2018, The Bamboo Closet has shared over 8000 hand-dyed silk dance props with professional artists and movement enthusiasts in more than 50 countries. Each multicolored piece of silk is infused with intention and is personally hand dyed by Whitney, making every piece a unique work of art. Today, more than 67,000 people follow The Bamboo Closet’s journey on Instagram, cultivating a community that is inspired by the enchantment of silk in motion.

Whitney continues to explore dye techniques across a wide range of fabrics while offering workshops, performances, and sacred spaces for movement and self exploration all over the world.

"Every silk creation is a transmission of energy filtered through my being, shaped by the state of presence I bring to the ritual of dyeing. As an artist, I act as a channel, allowing the current of life to move through me, imprinting its essence into each piece of silk.

My own approach to this process is one of surrender, devotion, and play. Through dying silks, I seek to create not just objects of beauty, but portals of remembrance. Tools to enhance dropping into deep presence, radiant joy, healing, and a return to the sacredness of embodiment.

My intention is that each silk carries a resonance, stirring the depths of being, awakening presence, awareness and wonder, and reminding us that we are radiant, alive, and whole."
