Presented by the SAQA Florida region, all SAQA members are invited to attend this online presentation by Ann Johnston.
Using images of her quilts over the years, Ann will discuss making design decisions and how her approach has evolved. She will describe the different kinds of starting places she has used in her recent work and explain in detail how the work changed during its creation-from inspiration to result.
Ann is best known for her hand-dyed silk and cotton quilts, seen in art exhibits since the 1980s. During her years of quiltmaking and fabric dyeing she has authored and published many books. Since 2011 she has been working on a series of large-scale quilts called The Contact. The collection has been exhibited in various museums and venues in the US, as well as in France, England, Spain, and Saudi Arabia. View Online
Ann attributes her artistic interests to an open mind and her desire to keep learning, independently and continuously. Her books, workshops, and lectures about dyeing and designing have been resources for fiber artists for many years. Her growing mastery of color and texture and design continues to produce powerful work that draws in her viewers and collectors.
