I began weaving in 2001 during a visit to Santa
Fe, New Mexico where I took a class in
landscape tapestry. With a background in
watercolor painting, knitting and needlepoint, I
quickly became enthralled with the process of
“painting with wool.” Though my approach to
tapestry is grounded in contemporary
Southwestern techniques, my personal style is
influenced by the landscapes and skyscapes
that surround me every day here in northern
New Hampshire. I have a palette of nearly 200
colors of wool, all of which I dye in my home
studio. Among the master weavers I have
studied with are: Joan Baxter, James Koehler,
Christine Laffer. Susan Martin Maffai, and
Robin Ryder.
