About Linda

Curiosity has led me along many different paths. When I took up rug hooking, I felt like all the paths converged into one super highway of inspiration and expression.

My formal education ended with a MS in Molecular Biology. My informal education centered around art and craft, and it has never ended. When I stumbled upon rug hooking, I was instantly smitten with the process, the materials, and the practical way of adding beauty to life. Currently I am using wool yarn and cloth with some silks and velvets to explore the interconnectedness of living things.
