A Joint Exhibit of Art Quilts from Brazil and the Contemporary Quilt Art Association

See the unique styles represented by the artists in these two diverse cultures displayed side-by-side.

For the past 8 years CQA has been sending art quilts to the Patchwork Design show in Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeria, Brazil to be exhibited side by side with Brazil quilt artists. This exhibit gives United States veiwers a chance to see Brazil and US art quilts side by side. The Brazil artsts over the years explored the abstract with emphasis on adding depth with embellishments. While CQA artists created mainly abstract art quilts in early years, they have started moving towards abstract realism often with very little physical depth.

Event Details

Jane combines rescued vintage needlework pieces and modern techniques to create vibrant collages inspired by paintings from famous artists.

Each piece in the exhibition Inspired by the Masters is a complex combination of rescued vintage needlework pieces, including needlepoint, quilt blocks, Crewel embroidery, and punch needlework. The vintage pieces are collaged with hand dyed and printed fabrics, many of which were created to match or mimic the patterns of the original needlework. Each is backed with industrial Eco-felt and machine stitched/quilted.

Inspirations ranged from Matisse still life paintings, to the work of Frida Kahlo and Mary Cassatt; each intertwined with my experiences of vibrant color and pattern discovered on teaching travels around the world.
