Laura Fogg, Speaker
"Freehand Collage Landscapes"
This lecture will cover both Ms. Fogg's inspiration and the techniques that she uses to achieve an energetic and painterly quality to her quilts.
She has been an art quilter for over thirty years. Her work is shown regularly in major quilt shows across the country. She has been featured in two documentaries and appeared as a featured artist on Alex Anderson’s “The Quilt Show” in 2018.
Art keeps her busy- in addition to her practice creating art related to environmental and social issues, she has started a number of art-making projects with people in her community who are underrepresented.
