Anita Luvera Mayer is an internationally recognized weaver and versatile fiber artist, designer, and author. Her focus on weaving contemporary garments began in 1972 and she has focused the last 10 years of her work on women's stories. Although she still weaves, her creative fiber work has evolved to include many types of innovative surface design techniques as well as incredible beadwork, embroidery, freeform knitting, and crochet. In this talk, Anita shares the personal journey of a self-taught artist as she struggled to understand the creative process and finally learned the “secret.”
