["Susan Feller, 63 at the time of this interview, lives in Hampshire County, West Virginia with her partner Jim in the log home they built. With a degree in Art and History from UMass/Boston and a life-long interest in handwork craft, she learned to rug hook in 1994, a medium allowing her to paint with wool. This skill was the entry into the niche market of rug hookingdesigning patterns, selling hand-dyed wool, and teaching as far away as Australia, throughout the US and Canada. These days, Feller works in her studio creating fiber art for the walls. Juried as a Tamarack gallery artist, and a recipient of a purchase award from the WV Division of Culture and History, she serves on the Board of Directors for Tamarack Foundation for the Arts and The River House board in Capon Bridge, networking with and advocating for artists in the state and beyond.Read her piece on the West Virginia Folklife blog about the McDonald sisters: https://wvfolklife.org/2018/05/15/textile-artist-susan-feller-on-the-mcdonald-sisters-of-gilmer-county/Susan Fellers website: https://artwools.com/"]
