Grey Barn in the Rusty Field 9" x 9"

This barn serenely sits underneath hazy skies atop an earthy palette of mud, grass, and wildflowers.

Artists Bio

I hook nearly everyday. My goal is to live simply, and make hooked rugs that are unmistakably art. I am the author of eight books, and had my first solo exhibit in 1999 and I continue to exhibit my work, write and run my gallery and studio in Amherst, Nova Scotia. My work is in private and public collections around the world.
