Teacher Bio

Rina is a self-taught tapestry weaver from Calgary, Alberta. She creates woven wall tapestries on frame looms that she builds herself. She is known for her textured mountain landscape pieces and her attention to the smallest details. Through weaving, Rina has found comfort for her busy mind and busy hands and has found mindful meaning in creating her art. Rina is also a practicing Registered Nurse who works in the area of mental health. Avelane Wall Art was founded in 2017 as a way to not only showcase Rina’s art but as a way to also merge her passion for mental health advocacy with a portion of her sales going back to supportive initiatives.
