I began weaving seriously more than 30 years ago and am still fascinated with all that can be done on a loom. What if I use this color against that color, this texture or that size yarn, what if I use this pattern? Interlacing threads is a never ending “what if…” My weaving is driven by my love of the technique and of cloth; the ability to create a beautiful textile out of an armful of yarns is magical.

I started with a manual floor loom and when I realized I wanted more complex patterns, I moved to a computer-assisted handweaver's loom, allowing me to weave basic and very complex patterns alike. I enjoy watching the pattern develop as I treadle the loom, throw the shuttle, and beat the thread into place. I weave with wool, alpaca, linen, silk, rayon, and cotton. Many of my patterned scarves and shawls have a versatile reversible light/dark pattern.

Each item I weave is unique yet connected to all the weavers who have come before me since humans first began to interlace threads.
