"All of my work is hand made with 100% sheep wool. The magical process of making the fibers is that each piece is elaborated one by one, which is reflected in the unique kind result."
I graduated from UFRGS with a degree in Architecture and I have always been involved with plastic arts, watercolor painting, lithography, design, graphic arts, and artistic concepts and direction. I like to relate myself to many creative processes. In my husband’s, Neco Schertel, herd of sheep in São Francisco de Paula, RS, I saw huge potential in the sheep's wool which was sheared annually.
I want to revitalize the ancient technique of making carpets, which originated from the nomadic tribes of China, Iran, and Afghanistan, by working with our sheep wool by hand. I propose using knowledge from the past to produce real, pure, 100% natural carpets.
The region of Campos de Cima da Serra, the herd of sheep, and the native evergreen woods inspire me.
