Barbara Dunsmoor

Beginning her artistic journey as a traditional quilter, this artist has spent years evolving her craft to embrace the boundless possibilities of art quilting. Moving beyond conventional patterns, she discovered her passion for abstraction, color, and texture. This transformation led her to explore techniques like fabric painting, dyeing, thread play, and embellishment, turning each piece into a unique exploration of creativity. Her work is deeply inspired by the world around her—whether it's a particular color, a piece of fabric, or an image that sparks her imagination. Each project becomes a journey, often transforming from its initial concept into something entirely unexpected and organic.

With an insatiable curiosity and a love for pushing creative boundaries, she approaches quilting as an ever-evolving art form. For her, the process is as rewarding as the outcome, as every piece teaches her something new and inspires the next. The world of fabric and thread offers her endless opportunities to create, and she finds immense joy in giving form to the ideas that refuse to rest until they're realized. Her quilts are a testament to her belief in the power of creativity, where the only limits are the ones she chooses to leave behind.
