A weaver and teacher since the early 1970’s, I retired in 1999 from a decade as Adjunct Assistant Professor in Art Education at the University of New Mexico. In 1998, I received, from the Handweavers Guild of America, a Masters Certificate of Excellence with a specialized study of tapestry. For many years I used the indirect techniques of Ikat (resisting and dyeing the yarns) and clasped-weft (a rug structure) to produce inexact woven images. In retirement I have given myself the time to weave tapestry with its direct methods of creating precise images.
