England or United States

The artist, documented as active in textile production between 1775 and 1801, is attributed to either England or the United States. Their practice focused on functional and decorative textiles during the late 18th century, encompassing the transitional period between the Georgian and Federal styles of material culture.

Fifteen textiles attributed to this individual are represented in major museum collections, establishing their historical significance in the craft field. The body of work held in institutions confirms their status as a source of museum-quality historical artifacts. Specifically, the Art Institute of Chicago preserves several of their pieces.

The documented artworks include domestic and decorative items such as a Sampler and a Handkerchief, alongside three examples titled Border, indicating specialization in edging or decorative elements. Active across a critical span of the late colonial and early national periods, the artist's identity reflects the close exchange of textile design and technique between the two nations. Due to the historical age of these pieces, the designs often enter the public domain, allowing for extensive scholarly study. Though the original textiles are fragile, their patterns are often digitally preserved, enabling the creation of high-quality prints for research and educational purposes.
