I specialize in Rug Repair Restoration; my emphasis is on Navajo Rugs and Blankets, Saltillo Sarapes, Vintage Mexican Serapes, Chimayo and Rio Grande Hispanic Weavings of Northern New Mexico and Southwest Textiles.

My point of view is through the eyes and hands of being a weaver, spinner and dyer for over a span of 35 years. My long experience and knowledge has allowed me to repair Old Textiles. One needs a sharp keen eye, sensitivity of color and design and the technical knowledge. These skills give me a strong approach in problem solving textiles of age and beauty most often in need of repair.

My Textile Journey has taken me traveling and I have gained a great appreciation and respect for the cultures in which they derive. This continues to be a lifetime of learning and experiences.
