During a course I took with her at the Tatamagouche Centre, Findhorn founder Dorothy MacLean told of her conversations with angels and devas of specific geographic areas. Listening to her and remembering the spirit of the area around Ghost Ranch in northern New Mexico, one of my favourite places, inspired Taos Deva. The main body of this piece is a miniature, embroidered landscape.

The Taos Deva has been included in the Weaving New Rhythms Diary 2002 as the visual image for April. She is paired with a poem by Maya Angelou. This piece is now in the collection of Pete Sarsfield.
