    Where We Work

    As artist quilters, where we work can make a huge difference in what we create and how we feel about the process.

Listen today as co-hosts Susan Brubaker Knapp and Vivika Hansen DeNegre chat with artist and project manager Jane Davila about the opening of a brand new studio space that meets the needs of a unique cohort of artists.

  • Artistic Inspiration: Modern Art and Antique Quilts

    Artistic Inspiration: Modern Art and Antique Quilts
    Mar 23 2022
    As art quilters, we are inspired by so many genres of art. Often, we look at work from 20th Century painters to glean what we can from their innovative composition. But consider this: those artists were also inspired by others. In this episode, Artist in Residence, author, journalist, and quilt historian Teresa Duryea Wong, provides insight into how the Abstract Expressionists – painters such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko – were most definitely influenced by quilt art from the previous century.
