Weaver/Artist

    Weaving is the core of my existence as an artist. Things just come together when behind my looms. In the process of designing, prepping, execution and giving birth to a creation by cutting the warp threads, the interwoven yarns talk to me.

    Reflections of past, present and even future moods and memories occur. Nature’s seasonal events influence shapes plus color palette. Be it stars, rainbows, autumn leaves, snowflakes, flowers, etc. Animals frequently appear too.

    Navajo weaving of the Southwest impacted me greatly while starting my career as a weaver in New Mexico. For that, it will remain in my blood forever. Compositional weft-face rugs and tapestries are my forte. Images result in “one of a kind” Southwest, contemporary, dimensional and/or pictorial variety.
