Winter Trees

Wendy Carpenter

/ WGNS Hand woven, felted. Each panel represents the essences of a tree in the cold elements of winter…naked and alone. Trees in the winter are without growth and display an expanded rich, dark bark. The winter wind marks the trees with snow allowing the viewer to see the simple rhythms and sturdiness of winter.

Straw Spear

/ WGNS Hand woven, crochet, basketry. Each “spear” fiber form is my personal expression derived from the Native American culture. The spears are hand woven in colors found in nature e.g. straw for the prairies.

Mayan Women

Chairs

A Poppy
