Linda Kurcz

Linda Kurcz is a fiber artist who creates both traditional quilts and art quilts. Her large art quilt titled "A Walk in the Woods" was commissioned to hang in the new Warrenville Park District Recreation Center. A talented colorist, she chooses fabrics and other fibers then combines and stitches them into quilts using traditional and contemporary quilt patterns or stitches them onto collages that represent landscapes and images.

Statement: Linda Kurcz interests lie both in keeping the traditional art of quilting alive and in exploring new directions and creative possibilities in quilting with fabrics and other fibers. She uses fabrics to explore color interactions and textures and colors to create depth and motion in her images.

Media: New and reclaimed cotton and mixed fiber fabrics, threads, and yarns.

"A Walk in the Woods": This amazing 4' x 4' panel commissioned for the Warrenville Park District Recreation Center lobby features trees of pieces cotton with cut and stitched leaves and trunks. The leaves escape the frame line enhancing the 3-dimensional quality to the work. Forest floor details of yarns and cut and stitched fabrics provide a textural richness to the foreground.

Customization available: Functional items such as table runners, table cloths, tote bags, and even conventional bed quilts are available as well as wall art in square, rectangular, or banner shapes. Traditional pieced repeated patterns can be ordered as well as images based on photographs or sketches.
