MINE IS THE STORY OF
 TWO VERY DIFFERENT PASSIONS!

HANDWOVEN COPPER ARTWORK:

As a small child I was always attracted to textiles.  Making doll clothes by hand for my various childhood friends, then learning to sew from my Mother, who was a master seamstress, and discovering the world of hand weaving when I was in my early 20’s.  The hand weaving process was a natural for me – another puzzle.

For several years I only had a very small table loom, which is surprising for someone so drawn to the process.  But, in 1984, my father and one of my sisters devised a plan to present me with a loom that my father built for me as a birthday gift.  My sister had a motive, she wanted hand-woven leather fabric for some of the clothes she was designing and selling in the Denver area.  Another page of the story and a piece of the puzzle was put into place.

For several years she and I sold our clothing line thru small boutiques and galleries.  But things changed; she moved out-of-state, and I wanted to explore other things.  I felt the need for change, and another piece of the puzzle began to emerge.  I became fascinated with the new medium of copper after someone told me that copper couldn't be woven on a loom!  For the past 15 years or more I have been working with copper as my primary medium, weaving most of my pieces on my looms – and adding embossed copper, semi-precious stones and what have you to create absolutely unique and compelling works of art.  I am still exploring the potential of this medium and truly love the process and the pieces that come from my hands and heart.
