One of the most intimate art forms we as quilt artists create is the portrait. Portraits are, for the most part, representational pieces of art that communicate time, place, emotion, and even drama. In this episode of the Quilting Arts Podcast, we explore how the human form can be depicted in cloth.

Behind the Scenes at Quilting Arts TV

As artist quilters, where we work can make a huge difference in what we create and how we feel about the process. If you have a passion for surface design, your creative space may look much different than an artist who is ‘all-in’ with creating mural-sized landscapes. 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.

Where We Work

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. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion.
