I’m a weaver and a visual artist. I’m mostly a solo weaver in my studio, simply because there’s only space for one person to sit at a loom. But I’m lucky to have a talented young woman, Lydie Roure, working with me to help with various aspects related to my work, like marketing and social media. I’m also proud to say that I teach weaving to Lydie and my mom and they are precious assistants when I need a hand. I also love to have young weavers, artists and makers of all kinds come in to share experiences or do collaborations.
