About Vanessa
Both art and sewing have been part of my life since I was
young. While studying engineering in college, I continued to make art
and took art courses, where I was first introduced to quilts as art. After a
finishing Master’s degree in biomedical engineering, I decided to
pursue art more seriously. For three
years, I worked as an artist full time.
Since December 2006, I have been working as a full time research
technician and a part time artist. Although I have worked in a variety
of media, including pencil, oils, pastels, and
fabric, I am currently focusing on making art quilts. I see art
quilting as painting with fabrics and threads. I like working in quilts
because of their touchable texture and their familiarity as functional
objects. The quilts I make can be either hung as art works or used
like traditional quilts. Many of my quilts are based on the beauty I
see in natural objects or scenes. I am continually experimenting
with new techniques and materials to produce different effects. Glendale Quilt Show
