Tapestry weaving is my way of
expressing my inner sense of design and rhythm. It is meditative,
extremely labor intensive and grows within a structured framework.
Each tapestry is unique and one of a kind. Most of my yarns are hand
dyed in Taos, NM . I sometimes use shiny luscious silks and metallics to add shimmer and joy. My looms range from small tabletop
tapestry looms to my huge Rio Grande Spanish walking loom. My
tapestries vary in size from 4x6 inches to 5x8+ feet.
I begin each tapestry with a
design in my minds eye. Memories from the spirit place and the
connection I feel to the harmony and power of nature affect the
development of the design. I feel very influenced by the beautiful
ocean landscape that surrounds me, and by the art, ancient flow and
spiritual culture of the Chimayo and Native Americans of the Southwest.
I love the colors, textures, smell
of the wool, the rhythm of weaving each row, the singing of the loom. |
