British-born rug artist Rosemary Hallgarten had a nomadic childhood (her father was a UN legal counsel). Today she lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and her work is cross-cultural by design. Her faux Zebra rug may look like a safari classic, but it's actually Alpaca yarn woven in Peru. 34 Crescent Road, Corte Madera, CA 94925; 415-924-1009; rosemaryhallgarten.com.
