Our Story

Artemisia was founded in 2002 as a place for New Mexico fiber artists and weavers to offer their creations as wearable art. Through the years, the gallery has become well known for its unique collection of fine handwoven garments and one-of-a-kind artwear and accessories — making it a favorite destination for fiber arts lovers from around the world.

Are you looking for fun, colorful Artwear that is stylish and sophisticated... or for an original handwoven created by a local weaving artist?  How about a boldly designed accessory that expresses your creativity?  You have arrived at the right place!

Artemisia is celebrating 24 years in Taos and choosing unique, artistic wearable art pieces for our gallery is what we love to do!  Our mission is to present you with a selection of only the finest in innovative design and impeccable craftsmanship. We carry mostly casual, easy to wear garments in natural fibers such as linen, silk, and cotton, made by American fiber artists or small design studios from across the country.

Our artists and weavers are the centerpiece of Artemisia and we are proud to represent them in Taos.

We have a long, successful history with our favorite designers, including New Mexico weavers Nancy Paap, Barbara Ehrlich, Natasha Nargis, and Ann Hailey Carson, Colorado fiber artist Perla Kopeloff, Tennessee silk and velvet artist Lisa Mergen, Kentucky jewelry and fiber artist Kathy Skomsky, and handpainted silks from Alexis Abrams in California – just to mention a few.

We continue to bring you extraordinary knitwear and silk creations from Renata Zimmermann, freestyle handwoven original designs from Kathy Utts at Wimberley Valley Saori, and a lovely collection of IKAT dyed silk and linen handwoven shrugs, shawls and tops from Karim Jaekel.

In addition, we feature a hand-picked selection of one-of-a-kind handwoven garments from Austin based Sandra Doak, and a beautiful collection of woven garments from Barbara Marigold in Santa Fe.

Over the past few years, we have added to our list of fiber artists working with silk and wool. Each artist has a unique style which is evident in the wide variety of felted wearables that we offer. Colorado fiber artist, Perla Kopeloff, tops off our growing list of cutting-edge fiber artists. We always look forward to seeing what's been happening in the studio with Anne Vickrey Evans. Anne creates exquisite wool jackets and coats from her felted fabric in her studio in Tierra Amarilla. We love the colorful nuno felted designs from Albuquerque fiber artist Vera Neel, and the very elegant hand dyed silk and wool nuno felted creations from Linda St. Angelo.

Thank you for your interest in Artemisia and we look forward to welcoming you into our store in beautiful Taos, New Mexico, or as an online customer.
