Hand Woven Rugs – Maria Victoria

A work in process from well known Cuban artist Maria Victoria currently based in Columbia County, New York. Maria Victoria has recently taken up rug making and can be frequently seen in her Columbia County Gallery near Hudson, New York tearing apart cloth from old jeans, shirts etc and weaving them into these works of art.

The concentration necessary to practice this craft can not be broken even when consuming 2 or 3 martinis (her favorite drink).

Maria Victoria is a woman of many talents, she is also owner of “Artistic Cleanings” , a cleaning service with an artistic touch. There is more to cleaning then just picking up the dust.

For your info, Sometime early in April 2007, at Hawthorne Farm, Ms Bernard will be showing off her handiwork at a exposition of Columbia County, New York artists.
