With a basket career spanning three decades, Joanne Russo's basketry is exciting, fun and creative within a disciplined tradition. Russo has a refined technique and weaves very detailed, intricate baskets that are inspired by Native Americans of the Northeast and the Southwest. She incorporates strong visual design elements, like the contrast of black and white or spiky surface decorations, to give each basket a presence.
