Nadine lived the first half of her life in rural MN and the current half in the Pacific NW. She says the mountains, rocks, music and dance communities in the Northwest feed her body and spirit. Nadine served on staff at Holden Village in the winters 1989 and 1990. It was at the village that she discovered folk music that planted the seed for her trio, Straw into Gold. Since art school, she's spent her work hours teaching private music lessons, writing weaving books, and teaching weaving around the country. Nadine is an Internet radio enthusiast and does dirt therapy in my garden as often as she can.
