    From Traditional to Contemporary Art Quilts

    with Diana S. Fox

    Diana presents a fun and lively 50-minute presentation highlighting her quilting journey from traditional to contemporary art quilts. Diana’s strength is her innovative and fresh approach to creating, as well as sharing stories and laughs. Her hope is to motivate and inspire others to ask “what if”. Quilts and the stories behind them are shared via a Powerpoint presentation and in-person as well, followed by an informal Q & A. Depending on availability there will be approximately 20+ quilts shown during the lecture.

    about diana s. fox:

    Who is Diana S Fox?

    An artist and creator to the core, quilting is my medium of choice. There are so many aspects to the art of quilting that I love—the richness of community, the tactile nature, learning the basics and then bending the rules.  Moving from traditional quilting, to art quilting, to a textile art focus has been a wonderful adventure.

    I was born and raised in Denver, CO within a large and close-knit family and have never lived more than 20 miles from my place of birth. I travel frequently but could never even consider calling another place home. Before fully tapping into my crea

    tive work, I graduated from Regis University and worked in local government as a Human Resources professional.

    My work has moved from flat art quilting into the sculptural realm, removing negative space and engaging the area in and around each piece. As a textile sculptress, I prefer to dye much of my own fabric for my creations. I have had numerous pieces juried into national and international shows and have mounted several successful solo exhibitions, including one currently at the National Quilt Museum. I am a Juried Artist member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and a member of 4 Common Corners, an invitational art quilt group. I am looking forward to upcoming tapings on both The Quilt Show as well as Quilting Arts TV and I’m an avid quilting teacher.

    In addition to quilting, I am passionately committed to environmental sustainability and my creative work often tells this story. I am constantly dazzled by this amazing and beautiful place we call home – Earth. It’s my goal to be a quiet activist for our planet. Through my art, I hope to inspire us all to stop and observe a sunset, smell the flowers, and remember that we are not separate from but rather a part of nature.

    I currently live in Parker, CO with my life partner, two rescue dogs, Dolly and Lewis, and two fat cats.
