About the Author: Gene Shepherd is director of Cambria Pines Rug Camp, always held the first full week of June at Cambria Pines Lodge, Cambria, California. He particularly enjoys designing rugs and doing commission work for individuals and historic museums. Gene regularly teaches private and group classes in Anaheim, California and has also taught at the ATHA Biennial. Known for his particular passion of introducing rug hooking to multi-ethnic children and adults, he has traveled as far as Moscow, Russia, to teach this art form. He is a frequent contributor to Rug Hooking magazine where his hooked rugs have been featured several times there and in the ATHA magazine. Three of his original works have been chosen to appear in A Celebration of Hand Hooked Rugs: Fog in 2002, Russian Birch in 2004, and Miss Weigle in 2005. Russian Birch was also chosen as a Reader?s Choice finalist. In 2003, he served as one of four judges for A Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs XIII. Although most of Gene?s work is based on his original designs, he recently re-created two rugs for the U.S. Park Service. Working with black and white archival photos he designed and hooked two rugs that had been lost from Franklin Delano Roosevelt?s Top Cottage at Hyde Park, New York. These rugs went on display at Hyde Park in 2004. Gene resides in Anaheim, California with his wife, Marsha, and daughter, Ann. He is senior pastor at Anaheim First Christian Church.
