Creating Sanity with Karen Lindstrom
Intuitive Custom Handwoven Textiles
Get to Know Me
I am the daughter of two artists. I was brought up creating whatever made my heart sing. When I was a kid, I would paint, draw, and play with all of my parents' art supplies. In school, I took every art class I could. I was drawn to ceramics and anything that would allow me to play with color and texture. I also crocheted, embroidered, and dabbled in photography.
​
When I was in high school, my inner critic got loud. It compared everything I did to the work of others and found me lacking. I convinced myself that I had the soul of an artist, but had no talent. I believed this for many years.
​
Periodically, I would have a physical ache to create and would take a ceramics class or a painting class, but then I would eventually stop. However, eight years ago, the urge to create came back and hasn't abated. I found weaving and feel like I have found my soul.
​
I have found a way to combine my love of color, texture, and fiber with my desire to design, problem-solve, and think creatively. Out of this discovery came Intuitive Custom Weaving.
​
With Intuitive Custom Weaving, you can choose what you would like to have created for you. You fill out a questionnaire, and I intuitively design the product for you from that information. You are shown two or three designs and get to choose the design that makes your heart burst with joy.
​
I can't wait to connect with you to start the design process and create a custom piece for you.
​
In Gratitude,
​
Karen
