All my sculptural baskets are uniquely designed and hand woven with materials from palm trees. Most of the palm materials come from the State of Florida. The palm tree fibers and the inflorescences are gathered from fallen fronds that have been blown down by the wind. There are many different varieties of palms used in my baskets. Each has a different texture, shape, color, and size that provide a unique combination and design for each piece. The palm seed fronds and the 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.
