Summer at her loom.
Ready to weave a Ruana.
Summer designs and hand-weaves unique, one-of-a-kind garments influenced by the colors of the American Southwest, Caribbean, West Coast, Puget Sound, and travel in Europe. She loves combining colors and fibers from life and her imagination.
With a rich history in weaving since the early 80s, a background in art and design, and inspired by the work of Crane Day (who complimented the crochet finish on her early garment work), Summer transitioned from creating art pieces to producing wearable art that is both visually striking and functional.
Based in Arizona, her work has been available for sale in boutiques and galleries in Houston and St. Thomas. Summer plans to expand her reach to shops and galleries in the Southwest.
