History and Experience

About

I’m Jean Selvy-Wyss, a tapestry weaver specializing in capturing the texture of a place. My favorite part of tapestry is the process, from idea, to paint, to cartoon to executing the weaving, where the scenes explode with texture. I've been training and weaving since the late '70s.
