For thousands of years, women have woven history—literally and figuratively. From ancient Egyptian linen makers to the skilled Andean weavers of Peru, textiles have long been a form of storytelling, craftsmanship, and survival. In many cultures, weaving was passed down from mother to daughter, a sacred tradition that connected generations.
In Greek mythology, weaving was even a symbol of feminine power—Arachne, a mortal woman, was said to be so skilled in the craft that she rivaled the goddess Athena. In medieval Europe, women wove intricate tapestries that documented history when they had little voice elsewhere.
Despite its deep artistic and cultural significance, fiber arts were historically dismissed as mere "women’s work." But today, we celebrate the artistry, labor, and vision behind textile creation. Women weavers, quilters, and fiber artists continue to reclaim this medium, transforming it into a respected art form.
My own journey in fiber art is deeply personal, shaped by the creative women in my family—my grandmothers and mother, who stitched, sewed, and quilted with skill and care. Their work was never called “art,” but it was artistry nonetheless.
Every piece I create is a tribute to the women who came before me and those who continue to push boundaries in the art world.
Thank you for supporting a woman-owned business and for being part of this journey.
