I am a weaver and a printmaker. I recently relocated to Saugerties. I have a weaving studio set up where I focus on rugs and sometimes scrolls. My loom can handle tough stuff and light fabrics. I spin and dye some of the yarns I use as well. I spent some time in the Peruvian Andes working with women’s textile cooperatives in 2015. I am also a printmaker and combine techniques from each medium to see how I can have print influence weaving (by printing a warp, perhaps) and vice versa. I use linocut and silkscreen and make fabrics and books.
I work in arts admin and am currently the executive director at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild
