Yvonne Porcella started working as a fiber artist in the early 1960s. She started with hand weaving and dressmaking, especially folk costumes, for which she developed patterns. She pieced fabrics for her garments and eventually made art quilts. In 1989 she founded Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA).
A Look Back exhibits objects from the late artist’s personal collection, which are now part of the permanent collection of the Museum. These include folk art costumes from around the world, art quilts from other artists, and her own work. She is known for her bold use of color!
