Inspired by a Painting
February 2025 • 6 Week Workshop
Throughout my artistic journey...
My foundation of painting on canvas and working with watercolors has profoundly shaped both my creative process and perception of the world. This background offers a distinctive lens through which I approach quilting and fiber art, allowing me to incorporate depth, color blending, and intricate design into my work.

This is going to be fun!
Imagine standing in front of a painting, its colors and textures swirling around you, igniting your creativity. Together, we'll explore how to harness these elements, analyzing composition, color, texture, and mood, and channel them into your very own textile piece. This isn't about replication—it's about the art of observation.
You’ll learn how to dissect a painting and pull out the aspects that resonate most with you, using them as a launch pad for your designs.
With three unique paintings to choose from, as our starting point, you'll experience the thrill of reimagining art in textile form and see how different artists interpret the same inspiration. After the first exercise, you will have the option of choosing a painting that speaks to you, and creating a piece inspired by it.
Our focus is on improvisational piecing—the heart and soul of this course and my passion. There are no patterns or strict guidelines; just an open creative space where your instincts guide you.
We'll unravel the layers of artistic observation, learning to see beyond the surface and imbue our quilts with a deeper essence. We'll talk composition, uncovering the secrets of texture and structure in design. And we'll play with color theory, understanding how hues dance together to evoke emotion and create a vibe.
Join me and uncover the magic of transforming a painting's essence into a quilted tapestry. Let's celebrate creation together and bring new dimensions to your art quilting practice. 💫
