Untitled Number Nine

Waller’s range of chosen textile techniques included dyeing, embroidery, and rug-hooking, which are well-represented in the five works now in the Museums permanent collection. Waller often dyed her own yarns and all but one of the offered pieces demonstrates her love of exuberant color.

Waller was a member of the art faculty at the College of Notre Dame from 1968-1973. She did not achieve national or international recognition for her work but was known locally through her teaching and participation in exhibitions that toured around California in the late 1960s and early 1970s and through a later retrospective at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga.
