Artist Statement

(clip)  An award winning quilt artist who has exhibited internationally, Lee Anna loves teaching her techniques and making presentations to many types of groups and guilds. In everything she does, she encourages each person to share their unique vision with others.


"I want my art to communicate with the viewer, to tell our collective stories and connect us. My quilts must have meaning for me. Whether they are whimsical or abstract nature themes, the connection between myself and the viewer is important. I make art to express myself.

 I believe you are the only person with your set of experiences, memories, skills and vision.

I am a painter although I now paint on and with fabric. I use fabric, both color and print, as my paint, using commercial prints as well as personally dyed and painted fabric. After you see color and line, one sees fun commercial prints on closer inspection.

Another common theme running through my art is use of 3-D effects, written script, and a focus on texture.

Oh and I like to laugh, so my art is often funny.  They make me laugh, and I've heard more than one other person laughing too.  Laughter is good."
