About Beryl

My journey with weaving began in the 1980s, and after a 30-year career in public health and epidemiology, I felt the pull of fiber and colors once again. As I found my way back to the loom, I found pleasure in the tactile and visual nature of weaving. I love the interplay of color, texture, and movement, and weaving offers the perfect medium to express these elements both individually and collectively.

​

Weaving provides a rhythm that allows me to slow down and appreciate each step of the process. From planning and calculating to warping and weaving, I enjoy every detail. My affinity for math finds a place in the technical aspects of weaving, as does my appreciation for the focus and patience it requires.

​

My background in public health has influenced my approach to fiber art. In public health, we work together to improve the well-being of communities, and in weaving, individual fibers unite to create beauty, convey ideas, and evoke emotions.

​

The weaving and art communities continuously inspire and support me. I am an active participant in weaving workshops, a member of the Jockey Hollow Weavers Guild, and contribute to local art initiatives. My work has been exhibited at local events and galleries, and each new piece is a reflection of my love for fiber, community, and the joy of making.
