Mosseller, Lillian Mills

Abstract:

Mosseller makes rugs by combining fine art with the ancient Appalachian craft of rug punching. In 1933, an admirer of President Franklin D. Roosevelt commissioned her to make a rug for the Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia. In the following years, her rugs and tapestries were exhibited in numerous art galleries and soon became widely known in the art world.
