Grace was a weaver in the 60s, studying with Kay Sekimachi, a noted fiber artist with studios in Berkeley and later in Sonoma County.
This gallery has a number of her pieces that have traveled with us. They include a vest that I wore from 1968 to 1975 and a scarf I continue to wear in 2014, with care!
The white patches required careful design of the mix of threads Grace fed into her loom.
This shows the white patches.
A scarf Grace wove in 1967 that I’m still wearing.
Grace wove and assembled this complex piece for her mother, Hazel.
The most important unit in my hippie garb for nine years.

"I do not at all understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us." – Anne Lamott
