Textile Imaginings | Mary Bajcz, Katie McGrath, and Kathryn Schmidt
We are abstract artists who use textiles as our medium. Our love of color is enhanced by the textures we achieve using cloth and stitch. We incorporate the traditions of quilting, often with very graphic designs, while enhancing our work with innovative and experimental technique choices. Our passions, causes and visual reactions are reflected in the selections we make from the abundance of fiber options. We are inspired by the smallest details as well as the grandest panoramas of the world around us. There are no limits to the human imagination and our use of layered textiles allows us to visually explore and express each concept that intrigues us.
