Cher Cartwright White Rock Cher's website email Cher Cher Cartwright is a fulltime studio artist creating contemporary art quilts. Her work is composed exclusively of cotton fabrics that she has dyed herself, relying on a variety of immersion and surface design techniques to create her fibre palette. Cher was a teacher and then a lawyer before becoming an art quilt maker. Originally drawn to quilt making by her appreciation of traditional quilts, Cher uses the quilt form as a springboard for creative expression. She creates purely imaginative images that are abstract, bold and dramatic. She has studied extensively with Nancy Crow, arguably the world's premier quilt artist, from whom she learned to cut and piece fabric improvisationally, that is freehand and without a pattern. Cher's work has been exhibited internationally, with pieces juried into the prestigious Quilt National exhibitions in 2003 and 2007. Recently, her work was showcased in a 10 page section of the Lark Books publication, Masters: Art Quilts. |
