Fiber
mimi@mimidesigns.tv
I am a Chicago-based fiber artist. My textile collages were first influenced by traditional Amish quilts and have evolved into contemporary, graphic fine art pieces for wall decor.
I use hand-dyed cottons for the majority or my artwork. Fabric purchased on trips all over the world find their way into my work as well. All pieces are hand cut and machine sewn.I am inspired always by looking around me.the sidewalk cracks, the way the old bricks lay out, the lines of a telephone pole in India, the color of the ocean in Costa Rica, the stones on the beach in Italy.
I love what I do.it does not feel like a "job" to me. I really enjoy the whole "business".creating work, selling it, marketing it. I am so happy when creating and I think my work makes people happy when they look at it. The best feeling in the world!!!
