Tibetan rug Desiger

Ohio-born artist Xan Palay is one of the mst dynamic young artists working today. She has been featured in nearly 20 museum shows, including As Wishing Still Helped, a critically acclaimed solo exhibit of three-dimensional pieces at the Columbus Museum of Art.

In 2005 she was inspired by images in one of Da Vinci's notebooks and designed the Sunlight and Moonlight rug, which is currently on display at the Weston Art Gallery in Cincinnati. Palay turned to Shangri-La Rugs to transform her artistic vision into a reality.

"DiVinci was always up to something new. Sunlight and moonlight are always new. I wanted to try something new and I just love fine carpets!" Xan Palay,2005
