Take a glimpse of our 3 featured Artists:
Jodi Stevens uses textile materials such as weaving thread or yarn in unconventional ways. By layering, wrapping, or methodically laying out individual threads, she creates an overall atmosphere, sometimes a specific form, often with monochromatic or cascading colors.

Barbara Watler's processes have often involved appliqué rather than piecing. In the beginning she used direct appliqué in a collage methodology but then became very interested in whole cloth reverse appliqué. In recent years she has incorporated machine thread painting on canvas to create a heavily textured surface with a tapestry-like appearance.
Rhonda Fazio's work assimilates the textile design methods of ancient and indigenous cultures with the agrarian culture of Western Civilization. Her work is largely produced without the use of fossil fuel, it relies more on the human process of design rather than the mechanized version of it.
