Nature and its seemingly chaotic beauty inspire Berkeley, CA textile artist George-Ann Bowers. Weaving complex layers of warp and weft, she captures nature's magical mix of color, texture, pattern and structure, and exhibits her work throughout the United States, as well as internationally. Her weavings have appeared in Fiberarts magazine, the Surface Design Association Journal, and the recently-published volume Textiles: The Art of Mankind by Mary Schoesser. She has completed residencies at Oregon's Crater Lake, Denali National Park in Alaska, and the Grand Canyon, and is excited to explore new territory around the 63rd parallel. Visit her website.
