All my sculptural baskets are uniquely designed and hand woven with materials from palm trees. There are many different varieties of palms used in my baskets. Each has a different texture, shape, color, and design that provide a very unique combination for each piece. The inflorescence and flower stalks of palm trees have wonderful form and texture, making them beautifully suited for baskets, as well as creating the exquisite basket art that you see.
