Maggie Jarman, her approach to her work and the work produced with the group By Design which she belongs to.
“My love of textiles must be genetic for my mother was a brilliant seamstress, learning her skills from her needlework-teaching aunts. School, university and my teaching career constantly provided opportunities to pursue two disciplines simultaneously, geomorphology and stage costume. An introduction (by Lynne Seaman) to the world of Art Quilting was a revelation: therein lay the way of fusing together all my passions, landscape painting, printing, photography, and fabric. “
