Fulbright/Mexico Travel

 

I began making yarn paintings in 1969 while still in High School. I thought I had invented the technique. 

Seeing a yarn painting at a Greenwich Village flea market I discovered that yarn painting was a traditional art form among the Wixarika (Huichol) people of Mexico. 

In 1992 I received a Fulbright Fellowship to travel to Mexico to meet fellow yarn painters and talk shop. 

Since my Fulbright I have maintained my relationship with fellow yarn painters both by returning to Mexico regularly and by hosting Wixarika artists in by home.
