Artist Statement:

From a distance, a tapestry tells a story but there is also interest and interpretation in the details. There are patterns, there is a progression of time. As the tapestry develops I have a dialogue with the landscape and find it a never ending source of inspiration. Hand weaving a tapestry is a contemplative process; a contrast to fast paced life in the 21st century. The relationship between color and form is the most important consideration, with combinations of fine wool, silk and metallic yarns plus beads and metal used because of the different way that they react to light. This interaction is an integral part of the surface.

Hours: by appointment
