Sandra L Wagner - Fiber and Multi-Media Artist
Sandra makes art quilts,
is a hand dyer, surface designer using paints on fabric, and
designs Art to Wear. Fabric has been in her life as long as
she can remember, starting with doll clothes. It was a
natural thing to go from sewing children's and adult
clothing to making wearable art and art quilts. The
hand-dyeing process is a bonus for a day of play. It has
been rewarding to incorporate fabric, canvas, wood, and
paint together. She is a past quilt shop owner and now
teaches workshops in quilting, one-of-a-kind garments, and
fabric dyeing. Sandra is an award-winning quilter and wearable artist and has shown nationally and internationally in galleries and has pieces in private collections throughout the United States. She has designed for the Bernina Runway Fashion show, which was previewed at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX. Her garments, hand-dyed batiks and art quilts have been published in “On The Surface” by Wendy Hill, “Diamond Quilts and Beyond” by Jan Krentz, “Furoshiki Fabric Wraps” by the Pixeladies, and Bernina of America “Fashion Imagination”. Sandra has won many awards over the years. She has been juried into Studio Art Quilt Association (SAQA) National and Regional shows, Blueline Gallery, Houston International Quilt Festival, Gallery 10, plus others. Sandra curated the annual 5-month gallery show “Artistry in Cloth” at Shenandoah Vineyard, Plymouth, CA, for 9 years. She is a member of Studio Arts Quilt Association (SAQA), STASH Art Quilt Group, Sierra Gold Quilters Guild, Mendocino Art Center, Gallery 10, Fiber Art Now, World Shibori Network, and Amador County Artists. Living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California, she finds inspiration in the landscape and colors around her. Sandra shares her Pine Grove home with her husband John, and daughter Hilary. www.sandralwagner.com - slwagner2015@gmail.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
