Fay O’Meara is an artist and the owner of Rumo-Rustic Modern Design. Eileen DaSilva is the owner of DaSilva Decorating Services. They have been close friends since childhood.

Fay’s education is in fibers and while she loves to weave, felt, sew and collage, in the last six years she has developed an increasing fascination with found wood. Though the materials, methods, and tools are quite different from those of my textile work, there is a surprising continuity in my aesthetic. She is currently an art teacher at IS 183 in Stockbridge, Masschussetts.
