Cornelia Theimer Gardella, El Rito, NM Born and raised in Germany, Cornelia's love for the Southwest, its landscapes, cultures and textile traditions brought her to northern New Mexico in 2005 to study traditional and contemporary tapestry weaving. While traditional Southwestern weaving has allowed her to explore the historic roots of this local tradition, it is contemporary tapestry weaving which now serves as an outlet for her creativity and artistic philosophy.
