About Me
Picture of Sarah with her family

I live in York, Maine with my family. In the summer we spend time on our sailboat exploring the coast of Maine. My studio, in the woods at my house, is where I teach, weave and create my art.

I began weaving in 1969. My passion for this art medium has continued and grown stronger over these thirty-one years. In 1976, I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Textile Design. During the late 1970's until the early 1990's I worked primarily on commissioned textiles, wall hangings and tapestries for residential and commercial interiors. In the mid-1980's I began to move the focus of my work towards art education. By the early 1990's I was an official AIE artist on the NH Commission on the Arts' artist roster.

Recent artworks include paper weavings, woven textiles with narrative and symbolic imagery, collage works, and writing. See the gallery for more artwork.

My life always comes back into focus with my artwork. The interlacement of threads, the meditative quality of weaving, the metaphor of weaving and the truth I face when I am at the loom is my passion.

Please contact me if you have any comments or questions.
