Jenny Bowker, Australian Quilter
Incredible! The quilts of Jenny Bowker are amazing works of fine art. Go to her site to see the quilts.
Quoted from
http://www.jennybowker.com/
I have been working in Textiles since 1997 - from the time I finished a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Visual) and decided to make just one quilt.
My background - life before quilts - was in science. My contemporary work is usually based on science or women's issues. I am moving towards a melding of my fine art work and my textile work. I am interested in the way pattern comes into many parts of our lives. I often include some geometrical piecing in my work as I think it keeps me technically on my toes and provides a key for traditional quilters to link to my work.
I teach and really enjoy it. There is no greater delight than to offer tools to a quilter who wants to make original work but doesn't know how to access her own ideas.
