My
goal as a handweaver is interesting cloth: layered, rich, unusual cloth that
engages the senses, cloth that industry can’t produce. I weave one-of-a-kind
items or small production runs of five or fewer similar—but not identical—pieces
using natural fibers. Although most of my current work is scarves, wraps, or
shawls, I sometimes weave household articles such as afghans, throws, table
linens, and yardage for tailoring. I expect to add jacquard tapestry to that
list soon.
My work has been exhibited and garnered awards nationwide. I participate
in the American Craft Council shows in San Francisco, as well as smaller regional
juried craft shows and am proud to have exhibited at the Smithsonian Craft
Show.
