Since 1976 I have been actively involved in the weaving world (with a speciality in Tapestry ) through workshops, seminars, writing, exhibiting and as a designer and weaver of commission pieces for corporate and private collections. I have been further involved as Founder, President and Executive Producer of Victorian Video Productions - a production company that produces instructional how-to programs with an emphasis on textile techniques, as well as programs for public television.
