The inspirations for my rugs come from 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.  All designs are my own and are hand drawn – that being the “primative” in my name of The Primative Hooker.
