History

Established in 2002.

ARTEMISIA opened its doors in March 2002 in Taos, New Mexico. The store was named Artemisia in recognition of the Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 – 1652).

The original owner retired and the store was purchased by Yvonne Swartz in April, 2015. Shoppers will find handwovens from local and regional artists, along with one-​of-​a-​kind art wear and accessories that make Artemisia a favorite destination for fiber arts lovers from around the world.
