Lita Lovestone is an American textile artist living in Costa Rica. She creates her intricate handwoven designs on a floor loom using hand dyed natural yarns. She creates both fine handwoven wall art and limited edition wearable art garments with her unique fabrics. A handweaver with 20 years of experience, she is currently pushing the boundaries of traditional weave structures with her own visionary approach and style.
Her current body of work explores an evolution of a traditional technique from colonial America called “code drafting”, in which a name or phrase is converted into a numeric code which then becomes the basis for the woven design. In this complex design process, Lita creates a geometric pattern which holds the intention and energy of words like a secret message embedded into the weaving. An art form nearly as old as civilization itself, Lita views weaving as an ancient form of alchemical magic. This thread of connection to something ancient and yet tangibly present fuels her inspiration. In this modern world of cookie-cutter consumption, she feels a driving force to counteract the meaningless mass production with quality hand made textiles filled with intention and layers of meaning in every step of the process. Each piece is made entirely by hand and represents countless hours of intention, design and craftswomanship. Lita has shown locally and internationally in juried and invitational shows.
She is available for bespoke orders, commissions, and collaborations with art buyers, interior designers, stylists, and art collectors.
