January Artist of the Month

This month Linda Cannefax, one of the doyennes of the Sonoma County weaving community, is a featured artist at the Artisans' Co-op. She has been weaving for over thirty years. During that time she has produced a body of work she can be proud of. She has had her garments featured in magazines and books and she wears her own jackets and vests frequently. She has developed patterns that are flattering to most of us and she loves using colors.
As well as weaving and sewing her creations, Linda continues to adorn them with hand beading and screening on surface motifs. This adds to the "Illusion of Fantasy" that she is striving for in her work.
Linda also likes to paint her warps before weaving them. This, again is another layer of care and interest and color play that make her weavings collectors items.
