About Me
An admirer of craft work by early American homemakers, I keep the rug hooking tradition vital with my interpretations of places and things observed during my years living in Grand Marais, MN on the north shore of Lake Superior, St Paul, MN and in Stockholm, Sweden. While my predecessors made use of a variety of sacking, clothing that was beyond repair and other fabrics at hand; my designs are constructed chiefly from wool, both repurposed and new, as-is or dyed by me in my home studio in Richmond, Virginia. I have a particular affinity for plaids as I use them to create texture, excitement and even mystery when pulled loop after loop through the linen backing.
