New scarf - just off the loom. Rayon, silk and cotton. Not even sure of the measurements. With this one, I worked it in Ms and Os but held the vertical stripes throughout the scarf. The subtle color changes occur because of the warp painting.

Corporate Water Affects. 2010.
Essential Peace, an art installation first installed in Fredericksburg, VA 2009. It is a contemplative space reflecting on peace and space. It is 9 feet tall, 9 feet wide and twelve feet deep. It is interactive in that you can walk through it, sit under it.
I have been weaving since 1993. I grew up in a house built in 1812. Appreciating things from the past and connecting to tradition has always been important to me. I weave using traditional techniques, but apply my own sense of color to the textiles I create. I hand-dye and paint into the natural fibers I use. Each piece is a unique creation because I do not preplan the actual weaving, rather, I approach the work in much the same way a painting is done.

I weave items for the body- scarves, shawls and blankets, as well as, wall hangings, and large scale installation pieces.

Thank you for showing an interest in my work.
