I have always been a dabbler in fabric but when I discovered wool, scrim and hooking, I was the one that was "hooked." Using these materials, i am able to express myself as an artist. I love what i do and I do what i love.



This book is my journey in pictures and words and I hope you enjoy it.



"Meryl Simon Nelson's Paintings in Wool will be interesting to rug hookers. As always it is fascinating to know where ideas come from and how one decides how to put those ideas into a picture that people will enjoy. Meryl has done that very well. Her stories about each piece make it sees as if she is right there talking to you." Doris Eaton
