5’ x 8’ Value: $4,000 4’ x 6’ Value: $2,000
Artist Liz Gamberg collaborated with six young Coyote artists to design these two elegant rugs for Coyote’s auction.

The rug designs were then realized in wool by fair‐trade Tibetan artisans in Nepal who hand‐knotted 80 knots per square inch to create a luxurious thick pile. Liz brought her own exquisite palette and design sense to the project. Recent exhibits of her work in the Northwest include a juried show in Tieton, WA and 100 Artists Shows at the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery in Salem, Oregon.
