While working on a collaborative piece incorporating wool rug hooking, I grew enamored with the beautifully-dyed ball of yarn used to bind the edge. This became the inspirational form for Tangled Up In Blue. I find that many things from past creations and experiences are entwined in the form and meaning of my new work.

Dixie Biggs lives in Gainesville, FL and has been a full-time studio woodturner/artist since 1989. Her interest in woodturning began in 1979 when she taught herself to use a wood lathe so she could duplicate a chess set her grandfather had made. Having a biological background and a love of gardening, much of her work incorporates a botanical theme. She is best known for her meticulously carved leaf-wrapped vessels. She has had an extensive show career and exhibited her work in such notable venues as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, and the American Craft Expo. Her work has been included in many exhibitions around the country and she has work in many public and private collections worldwide. She continues to share her techniques and knowledge by demonstrating and teaching at various woodturning clubs, woodturning symposiums, and craft schools around the country and abroad.
