Contemporary tapestry artist
I am currently working on mostly small format things due to a temporary
move and job in Alamosa, CO. I am expecting to have my studio intact again
(with big looms!) by January. I continue to teach workshops throughout the USA
and really enjoy this interaction with students. Teaching improves my own
thought processes about tapestry and improves my design skills. I dye all my
yarn both for the students and for myself. I enjoy working in the dye studio
and spent a lot of the fall working out new color formulas.
My work over the last few years has largely been the Emergence series.
These pieces are based on an image of a spiral which comes from the petroglyphs
that surrounded my house on Prieta Mesa in Velarde, NM. The spiral image
signifies emergence from another place, the constant nature of change, and the
continued journey we all experience in life (whether we want to or not!).

Community College
in Craig, CO for their new building.

Emergence V: The Center Place
|
Emergence V was designed just after my teacher James Koehler died in 2011
and includes images from Chaco Canyon. I was on my way to Chaco when I found
out he had passed away. Chaco is a place of great mystery for me and each time
I return there I leave with more questions than answers about the place and
about my own life. I also love to look at the rock walls there. The
construction of the walls as well as the colors and patterns are fascinating.
