Color and comfort are two very important
elements in my life, work and world. I am a handweaver of wearables,
living and working in the high desert plateau country of Galisteo,
New Mexico.
I am very influenced by the subtle, natural colors that surround
me and dazzled by the array of brilliantly colored yarns that
adorn the floor to ceiling shelves of my studio. Currently, I
weave primarily with rayon chenille and cotton yarns adding other
luxurious fiber accents occasionally. I find the comfort, drape
and wearability of this woven fabric to be unsurpassed by any
other fiber. Its hand is luxurious. It is suitable for three
seasons of wear and has a rich lustrous depth of shade.
I love to weave. My body craves the rhythmic motion. I began
weaving after years of sewing with a desire to go one step further
and create my own fabric for clothing design. I've been weaving
for thirty-four years, and in that time, I have experimented
with innumerable yarns, weave structures and applications. I
believe that the craft of handweaving can fascinate a devotee
for a lifetime, with its infinite color and texture combinations. |
