Linda is an artist and designer who taught art for the prestigious Cranbrook Educational Community, in Bloomfield Hills, MI. She moved to Colorado where she set up her studio to continue making art and became part of the local artistic community. Travel and photography have been major influences in Linda’s art, and her weaving reflects these experiences. The idea that a small loom could be a canvas for experimentation and a love of fibers have been expressed through spinning, dyeing, knitting and weaving. All of the tactile and design aspects of these practices have led to sharing in the classroom and workshops, and now through writing.
I learned to knit when I was 6, wove grass and birch and string after that. It had always called to me. Nature, in general, has always caught my attention, seasons, colors, earth, and plants. Materials to gather have all been a strong influence on me. Process and materials have always been a big attraction for me.
