Artist's Bio

Artist's Projects

It’s hard for Annetta to remember a time when she was not making something, she is a maker. In the early 1990’s, she discovered basket weaving after stumbling upon a book and beginng a lesson; she quickly began making baskets, experimenting and teaching basketry. She has been teaching at fiber arts and basketry gatherings across North America since 2000.

Over the years, Annetta’s work has won several awards and been included in several national exhibits. She currently has work in Art Evolved: Intertwined (Studio Art Quilt Associates and National Basketry Organization), Papermade (Fiber Art Now) as well as the 2023, 2024 & 2025 Small Expressions (Handweavers Guild of America).

Annetta served as the National Basketry Organization Board president in 2022 & 2023. She participated in the World Wicker and Weaving Festival in Poznan, Poland in 2023.

Baskets. What started as a hobby soon became her life’s work. As a teacher, she focuses on mastery, basketry techniques and stretching perceived limits. As a maker, her work is somewhere between traditional and contemporary.

Annetta was born and raised on the prairies in Alberta, Canada. After living among the trees in Wisconsin for many years, she is happy to weave and live surrounded by mountains in Helena, Montana.
