At first glance, the work of Lena Meszaros and Kathy Nida appears to be very different, but once you understand their inspiration, you can begin to identify the common threads in their work. Like many artists, Meszaros and Nida use their work as a way to tell stories. Both artists use their quilts to explore their feelings, thoughts, and dreams. Their quilts explore the stories history and society tell and their interpretations of those stories. Both artists view their quilts as a way to offer hope and inspiration to the viewers. What stories do you see in these quilts?
