Velda Newman Velda
Newman is a contemporary quilt maker and fiber artist from
Nevada City, California. Her large-scale designs, portraying
subjects from nature, have been exhibited extensively
throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan.
Newman uses textiles and thread the way other artists use
paint and brush. Her primary source of inspiration is the
natural world, and her exquisitely crafted quilts reflect
the detail and design she finds there. Her work has appeared
in many national and international publications and
exhibitions, including as a featured artist at the first
international show in Mexico, 2018. Her work is included in
both public and private collections. Her quilt ZINNIA was
selected by the Quilt Visions 2010 Committee to be the
recipient of the Quilts Japan Prize. Velda has been awarded
“Best of Show” twice at Houston, and her quilt "HYDRANGEA"
was selected as one of the 100 Best Quilts of the 20th
Century.Velda lectures and teaches her techniques on an international level for many conferences and quilt guilds. Her book, VELDA NEWMAN: A Painter’s Approach To Quilt Design, was published by Fiber Studio Press. The second book, A Workshop With Velda Newman, was published by C&T Publishing. https://www.veldanewman.com/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
