Fiber
artist Sandra Wagner’s passion for free-form design and color drive her to make
art quilts and design wearable art.
Living in the mountains with ever-changing views provides her with a
daily abundance of inspiration. “Being
able to work in a home studio surrounded by tall pines, changing seasons, and
views of wildlife keep the creativity flowing,” she explains. Wagner will be the featured artist at Sutter
Creek Gallery in March.
Fabric has been in Wagner’s life as long as she can
remember, starting with making doll clothes.
It was a natural thing to go from sewing children and then adult
clothing to making wearable art and art quilts, hand dyeing many of her
fabrics. She is a former quilt shop owner who has taught workshops for many
years. She teaches and lectures for
private groups and at quilt guilds, including the International Quilt Festival
in Houston. Her garments, hand-dyed
batiks and art quilts have appeared in numerous magazines.
Wagner
is an award-winning quilter with many pieces in private collections. She has been juried into four Studio Art
Quilt Association (SAQA) regional shows.
For the past eight years, the artist has been the curator for the annual
five-month gallery show “Artistry in Cloth” at the Shenadoah Vineyard in Plymouth,
CA. Wagner is a member of numerous quilt
guilds, including the local Sierra Gold Quilters Guild, as well as several art
associations.
Sutter
Creek Gallery invites you to visit with Sandra Wagner at the reception in her
