Hilary Heyl has been hand weaving contemporary tapestries since 1999, when she enrolled in the El Rito Fiber Arts Program. Taught Rio Grande techniques by Karen Martinez of Chimayo and design, color and natural dyes by Leslie King of El Rito, Hilary returned with a loom that she and her husband built as part of her course work. She continued to refine her weaving through a three year apprenticeship with Donna Loraine Contractor in Albuquerque, from whom she learned the application of ancient Greek mathematical principles to aesthetically pleasing design. Technically informed by Rio Grande technique and the mathematics inherent in the beauty of Mother Nature, Hilary is also inspired by a love of color and the landscape of New Mexico. .
