Handwoven Fiber, Discarded Items 

62” x 16”

$900

“Near the Shore” mixes handwoven techniques with discarded items such as climbing rope, swim suits, and unraveled sweaters. It explores the feel and motion of the tides, the swirling colors found in the shallow, and the textures of flora and fauna who call it home-Garibaldi, seaweed, kelp, jellyfish.

Hand Embroidery over Woodblock Print on Linen

30” x 20”

$3,000

Grizzly bears are strong, independent animals who confront the viewer directly but often with an inquisitive air. They don't fear us, so they can engage and enjoy us, from a distance and from a place of mutual respect. I am a print maker, so I began with an image I printed on linen from a woodblock.
