Sculptural Basketry

I weave sculptural baskets taking inspiration from pottery forms both past and present. Drawing on folk motifs, the designs are informed by the rich history of these patterns. This particular medium is always interesting to me as it is a mix of color, texture, design and technical challenge with endless possibilities.

We share our time between Bigfork Montana and Oro Valley, Arizona. The contrast in the landscape and people of these areas has influenced my design over time. These places are so different but there is a shared expression of cultural traditions.

I love the entire process from dying the reed, imagining a new form and design, then weaving the reed.

I hope you enjoy them.
