Rug Hooking
There are so many beautiful styles and techniques for hooked rugs and mats. I am especially drawn to the work and style of Canadian artist Deanne Fitzpatrick and love the variety of wool fabrics, yarns, and fibers that are used in her beautiful work. I am also influenced by the amazing work of New York artist Linda Friedman Schmidt for her ability to convey deep emotion as she hooks with a wide variety of fiber types found in discarded clothing. I aspire to capture their use of color and story telling ability.

Clearwater River in Gold
approx. 6″ x 9″wool fabric and yarn I designed hooked this landscape of the Clearwater River valley during an online class with Deanne Fitzpatrick. The challenge was to complete a monochrome piece. This is my interpretation of the view I saw every morning as I crossed the Clearwater River on my way to work.
