Quinn Zander Corum did her first embroidery when she was five years old and first used a sewing machine at age seven. She made her first traditional quilt in 1978 and quickly moved to non-traditional art quilts. Today she combines the techniques of fine needlework with a variety of materials and methodologies that serve to enhance the imagery. She had her first solo exhibition in 1987. Since then her work has appeared in venues across the United States, she has done several private commissions, and has work in a number of private collections.

I’m working on a series I call Earth Forms. This piece relates to an aerial map of “somewhere” and the symbols used on maps. It is called “Watching the Weather” because of the heated currents surrounding the landforms.
