Artist Bio  

Lauretta is a fiber artist currently focused on custom large-scale installations. Her minimalist aesthetic begins with simple, natural materials like pure cotton rope and unfinished walnut, which she crafts with exceptional attention to detail. While she notices rope everywhere she goes, her work is primarily influenced by the visual textures she sees in and around her home near Newport, Rhode Island. She is a teaching artist at the Newport Art Museum, where she passes on the ancient art of macrame, helping others find patience, purpose, and creative confidence.
