Fine art wear - knitted ,felted, and pieced fabric for jackets, coats, vests and ponchos.
I have been designing and making my art wear for 40 years.I started out with knit wear and over the years expanded to fabrics and needle felting.
My goal is to create comfortable, well executed art-wear that can be worn year round.
Creating with colorful cottons, wools, rayon, silk and chenille, implementing interesting fair isle designs on the standard gauge loom to produce a lighter weight garment, and adding a blend of exquisite hand finishing with totally original edges and buttons, make my garments unique and special.
Much of my inspiration comes from the fabulous colors and shapes that surround me in my home and studio high atop a mesa, in the stunning high desert of New Mexico. The constant changes in the landscape where I live will continue to inspire me with an abundance of ideas for new color combinations and fresh designs.
