FIBRE ARTIST

"I graduated in 1984 from the Design Arts - Weaving & Textiles III program at Georgian College, Barrie, Ontario. I have belonged to weaving guilds in BC, Alberta, and New Brunswick. While living in New Brunswick, I worked as a home-production weaver for Loomcrofter's Studio, Gagetown, mainly weaving tartan placemats.

Even after all these years of weaving, I'm still fascinated watching my weaving grow as I work at my loom."
