welcome to intuitive rug hooking

rug hooking is a translation of ideas, feelings, and passion that reflects life itself.  this website celebrates both traditional rug hooking and intuitive expression. 

artists have always seen their work as a medium for expressing innermost connections to their world.

 "When I am in a painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well." - Jackson Pollock

"The progression of a painter's work as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity.. toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea.. and the idea and the observer.. To achieve this clarity is inevitably to be understood." - Mark Rothko
