I am a self taught weaver and basket maker. I have chosen to
work with fiber and the above techniques as raw material and
as the means to express my ideas. Fiber is used because of its
inherent textural and visual nature and its versatility; weaving,
because of the challenge to master the mechanics of the loom
and various weave structures and techniques; and basketry because
of its sculptural qualities.
It is challenging to develop the interrelationships between
colors, fibers, textures, shapes, spaces and lines into a unified
composition. Weaving and basketry can be used to blend function
and form.
I enjoy using luxurious yarns, striking to subtle compositions,
and textures from yarns and weave structures to make functional
and artistic pieces for the home or corporate environment. I
specialize in wall hangings, fashion accessories, linens and
rugs for the home and other custom items.
