ABOUT MY WORK: I design
and execute tapestries made of fine quality wool
and novelty yarns and fibers. All of my designs
are original ---beginning with the design proposal,
working through the execution and finished stages
--- each piece is completed totally by me. I am
known for my free-form, large scale soft- edged
fiber pieces. Each woven piece is backed with
canvas and quilted with clear filament to the
weaving for durability, stability and ease in
displaying. Care and hanging instructions are
included. My fiber pieces are priced by the square
footage, with complexity of design as well as
selected materials a consideration.
COMMISSIONED / CUSTOM DESIGN: Clients
usually provide me with photographs and dimensions
or scaled drawings of their space. Colors are
discussed and if possible fabric swatches and
paint samples can be provided by the client.
Initially I discuss or provide primitive sketch
ideas I believe appropriate for the space. If
the client and I believe we can work collaboratively
to create a desirable fiber piece, I provide
a colored, graphed drawing with color yarn/fiber
samplings along with the pricing. When necessary,
I provide a pattern (the cartoon) for placement
in the space to better assist in the visualization
of the art work on site. Once the design is
selected, time elements are discussed. A contract
is provided, requiring 1/3 deposit to begin
the work. The remaining 2/3 is paid at completion.
Shipping, insurance and any tax due are extra.
Detailed instructions and aides are provided
to make hanging the fiber piece painless. Local
clients are encouraged to view the art work
in its process.
Thank you for your interest in my work. It
is a labor intensive process and I receive great
satisfaction in knowing my work is appreciated
and admired. I work very hard to create a beautiful
work of art that pleases not only the space
but the client as well.
A list of some of my installations is available
as well as promotion materials upon request.
