Robin Wiltse is a Canadian fibre artist, living near Kaslo, working in wool. With a love of colour and texture, and drawing, from a background of painting and illustration, she uses a single needle to manipulate the fibres into rich and detailed images. 
It can take many months to complete a single artwork. Using the power of repetition, there are parallels to the patterns of time, in nature and the human experience. 
Robin’s current work is often inspired by botanical folklore. Looking into the ways that historical botany, myth and legend have tried to explain the mysteries of life and death through healing, ritual and magic.
