Barbara Danzi

Barbara Danzi is an artist who makes large-scale improvisational abstract quilts. Her approach of freehand cutting each line or shape individually while composing the design on her design wall creates quilts with a painterly aesthetic where the seams look hand drawn. Her color palettes bring a sophisticated lens. Barbara merges her engineering degree and design study with her outdoor adventures to create compelling designs based on organic shapes in the natural world. Besides exhibiting her award-winning quilts around the world, Barbara lectures to quilt and fiber art groups and serves as a curator, juror and judge for exhibits. Barbara is a Juried Artist Member of SAQA, the Studio Art Quilt Associates, and a member of Textile Arts Los Angeles, and the Textile Study Group of New York.
