Shelia Hicks







"Known for her use of distinctive colors, experimental and natural materials, and personal narratives, these intriguing weavings reveal the emergence and continuity of the artist’s inventive approach to textile media, and a

unique connection between the artistic and design aspects of textiles. Her work is diverse, switching between miniatures and gigantic. Using a portable frame loom of her own design, Hicks employs a remarkably broad range of materials as well, such as cotton, wool, linen, silk, goat hair, alpaca, paper, leather, stainless steel, and found objects. All of which she turns into woven works of considerable beauty and intricate detail." (from here)
