With Rug Hooking artist Deanne Fitzpatrick (Episode 38)
Synopsis:
We talked about the history of rug hooking and how Deanne came to it - woman's work born of necessity and poverty. We chatted about having to integrate all aspects of your life - raising children, volunteering, managing a home with being an artist....we decided a bit of selfishness created resilient and empowered children! Deanne shared with us her inspiration of love!
Artist Statement:
Rug hooking is full of possibilities. It has changed my life, and been a powerful force in changing the lives of the people I have met through it over these twenty five years. It has made me who I am. I started out as a therapist, thinking that was how I would spend my life helping people, but rug hooking found me and helped me find myself.
I have learned that craft and handmade can totally change the way you view the world and how you feel about it. I believe that I have helped as many people by teaching them how to hook rugs and embrace their own creativity as I would have as a therapist. My style of rug hooking is not about being perfect, it is about creating beauty everyday.
