Ada Oegema: Wall Hangings and Rugs
Ada, a self taught
weaver, resides in Victoria, British Columbia and has been weaving
professionally since 1996.
Her weavings have been
juried into various art shows and her works have also been exhibited in
galleries in Santa Ana, California; Toronto, Ontario; and Vancouver,
British Columbia. After receiving a commissioned work a couple in
Chicago wrote: �As art, your weaving stands the test � it is
continuously interesting the more we live with it.�
In August 2008 over
1100 works of art were submitted into the Sooke Fine Arts Show and Ada
was awarded the Juror�s Choice Award. In addition, Ada has been
invited to participate in the internationally renowned Florence Biennale
to be held in Florence, Italy in December 2009.
