SHARI

Shari feels like a gypsy. Over her 72 years she has lived in many places. Her father was in the army and her husband worked on foreign engineering assignments.

She has lived in Spain, Kuwait, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and various places in the United States—and loved them all. She studied the dictionary of each place and learned to speak the “kitchen” version of their language in order to talk with the people.

Shari has been interested in fibers for years and has found new materials to try in the different countries. She now sell pieces at a gallery in Santa Fe, teaches knitting classes, and tries out new ideas. She was told many years ago that she couldn’t leave well enough alone.
