With a background in woven furniture restoration, I developed a strong love for design and intricate structure. My projects flow with patience and a deep appreciation for the craft. I use a variety of weaving techniques, with twining being the most predominant. Round reed and cane are dyed before the weaving process begins with cellulose fiber dyes. A multiple-step finishing process brings additional highlights and depth to the weaving. A UV archival varnish is applied, then a lustrous hand-rubbed wax finish brings the piece to completion. These baskets are a culmination of 33 years experience working with weaving materials and finishes, and exploring many weaving techniques.
