Artist: Susan Carli

Susan has produced distinctive woven pieces for galleries, boutiques, and for select clients across the country. She, alone, creates each piece in her collection; choosing the yarns for the warp (usually consisting of 20-30 different types of yarn) and weft, threading the loom, weaving the fabric, cutting and sewing the garment, and hand finishing each piece. This approach guarantees that each of her weavings is a unique piece of wearable art.

"Using my passion for color and ability to break tradition, I came up with fiber wall hangings, that have a hint of traditional quilts, with a contemporary flare. Inspired by a trip to Australia, I saw aborigines painting on canvas in their dry river beds. My love for the outdoors, passion for color, and the desire to create, was combined with the lovely experience of painting outside on large pieces of muslin." Holly Berry

"I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all your help and phone calls regarding the money clips I'm after. It seems nowadays that most retailers won't go out of their way to help people, so I'm particularly happy about the way you've helped me. Next time I'm visiting my brother, we'll be sure to stop in and say hello..."
