Family by Cecilia Blomberg
Tapestry Artists of Puget Sound (TAPS) was founded in 1990 for the exchange of techniques, philosophy and inspiration within the world of tapestry. The group provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and an opportunity for critical review through discussion, exhibition and publication. Each artist has developed and refined a body of work that expresses a unique vision and commitment to the art form.
This diverse group of artists shared their artwork and the ideas that inspired them. Each artist had a unique approach whether it was a technique, material or concept and brings them together in the medium of handwoven tapestry.
Artists:
Marion Bennet, Cecilia Blomberg, Joyce Hayes, Suzanne Hubbard, Mary Lane, Margo Macdonald, Katia Paroczi, Liz Pulos, Ellen Ramsey, and Julia Rapinoe.
