Sue Pierce has been making art quilts for over twenty five years. Her work reflects a crisp and witty sensibility. As an independent curator, she organized Full Deck Art Quilts, a national survey of art quilting which opened up the Renwick Gallery of the Museum of American Art and was traveled around the country by the Smithsonian. Her quilts have been purchased by the state department, national Institutes of Health, the International Monetary Fund as well as a number of corporate and private collections. A lecturer and published author, Pierce has served on the boards of several mid-Atlantic and national Arts organizations.

Christo Visits Home Depot #1
$300

Cotton and cotton blends, felt, silk
Pieced, surface rubber stamped, dimensional felt tools wrapped with silk
