Soft Footings

I have been weaving rugs for more than 30 years. I use only the finest New Zealand wool that is hand dyed in New Mexico. Most of these pieces are done in a traditional Rio Grande style using contemporary designs and colors, these rugs can easily integrate themselves into any home, office or other décor. Also, I am delving into other weave structures; specifically the binary surface and the equinox rugs. In August of 2006, Elle Magazine stated…"rugs are replacing wall paper as the hot decorative-revival item"

All rugs are $90 a square foot. Decorators please contact me for more pricing information.

Greek Key Rug

4 feet wide x 6 feet long

Synthesis of negative / positive Greek border imagery and abstract Native American centerpiece. The warm earth tones of siesta browns, burgundy and pinion green are the dominant hues.

Swirls Rug

4 feet wide x 6 feet long

‘Round’ is the PhD of tapestry design. These double-rounded swirls seem to float off the dark brown-framed, vanilla surface without regard to gravity or rpm’s.

Hawaiian Blues Rug

4 feet wide x 6 feet long

Inspired by Hawaii’s cliff pools and crystalline waters, many of these rippling hues are hand-dyed. The variegated brown and green border imagery suggests a pineapples outer scales.

Black and White Butterflies Rug

4 feet wide x 6 feet long

An elegant trio of white butterflies rest on their own Fibonacci-inspired tapestry row. This subtle, black and white tapestry achieves restfulness in its deeply satisfying simplicity.

Tumbling Blocks Rug

4 feet wide x 6 feet long

Optical illusions are the intrigue in this piece. Inspired by the "tumbling block" designs used in much of the ancient tile work in the architecture in Italy, a more contemporary look was given to this rug.

The uniqueness of this rug is that in it’s reversed state one can have a distinct pattern on one side and the geometry of stripes on the other using a harmony of colors.
