Please introduce yourself and briefly describe your art.
Hi there. My name is Therese May, I am a weaver, fiber fanatic and a creative.
What led you to be an artist and to share your art in Auburn Old Town Gallery?
My husband was given a 36″ oak loom, and we bought a “how to” book and started weaving. I so enjoy the artistic community and visiting people interested in art. That is what led me to AOTG.
Where are you originally from?
Although born in Sacramento, I was raised in Modoc county. It is the most northeastern county in California.
What did you want to be when you were younger?
I thought I was going into nursing but couldn’t handle the math. Little did I know weaving required lots of calculations! I have become more mathematical thanks to many threads.
Tell us about a compliment that you’ve received that you’re most proud of.
People tell me I am a good listener.
What’s one thing that has made you smile recently?
I must confess that I love looking at the reels on Facebook of babies. As a grandparent of twins, the multiples are the best. I always smile and sometimes chuckle.
