“Out of Yourself, Create” - Andre Gide
Looking back, this statement has always been a definition of my philosophy. Trained as an Arts and Crafts teacher, I pursued many forms of art expression – watercolors, sculpture, fashion, printing, metal and wood working. A course in Serape weaving at the University of Mexico incorporated many of these techniques – design, color, texture, purpose. When a loom was given to me, I felt obliged to honor the gift by learning all I could about weaving. And a career was born!!!
Such pursuits have resulted in a body of work which has included many tapestry commissions, fashion shows, entries into many fiber exhibitions, and exploration into repurposing materials foreign to the weaving/fiber tradition.
