"Handwoven Originals by the Barefoot Weaver"

"Every weaver, when engaged in the act of interlacing one thread with another, participates in a process that for countless generations

has been a primal metaphor for creation."  

~ David Jongeward,

    Weaver of Worlds 

My Journey

Weaving for me represents a metaphor for life itself.  It is a time-honored art that intertwines the threads of ancient wisdom, sacred traditions and contemporary design.   It is the taking of each thread of living and weaving it into a tapestry of unique design. 

Weaving is the art of creation and letting go.  It is the celebration of the imperfections that result from any endeavor that comes from the soul.  For me, it is about learning to trust oneself, the process and the evolving design.  Weaving is working on overcoming the obstacles of self-doubt, frustration and fear and moving forward in faith, trusting the creative outcome .

Weaving has given me a creative outlet to express my joy with a celebration of color.  It has offered me healing in times of deep grief.   Ultimately, weaving allows me to celebrate artistically the endless beauty that embraces us all.

My Work...

I have been fortunate to be trained in the art of weaving at Tierra Wools in Northern New Mexico and Flying Colors Studio in Taos.  Here I have been taught to weave in the Rio Grande Tradition which dates back over four centuries.   My weaving styles include tapestry, striped rugs and blankets, landscapes and abstract designs. 

 I am honored to present you with an overview of my weaving.  You can also contact me directly.   I hope that you find something that meets your taste! 

Can I Create A Weaving Especially For You?

Are you looking for an original piece of artwork for your home or office?  I would be happy to weave a unique piece for you ~ you choose the colors, the wool, the design and style.  It's that easy...  you will have a one-of-a-kind treasure you have helped to create.
