Martha Rosenfeld

Martha uses fiber art to depict landscapes, images from nature, and surrealist ideas. The intricacy and tactile qualities of working with fiber allows her to create images with depth and texture. She thinks of it as “painting with wool.” The hooked rugs are made with wool fabric strips, and sometimes with other materials such as wool yarn, silk, nylons, and old t-shirts.  The foundation fabric is linen. Each design is one of a kind, created one at a time, and based upon Martha’s own observations of the world around her.

Mary Baggerman

Mary is a fiber artist living in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Combining a lifelong interest in both painting and textile work, she creates art quilts and embroideries which combine aspects of both. Art quilts are often characterized by explorations of different mediums and materials, all related to fiber, which combine into new visual experiences, emphasizing the unique qualities of fiber: texture, color and pattern. Embroideries combine technique and modern aesthetics to create original pieces which echo the past but speak to the present.
