February Artist of the Month

Judy Fisher is a fiber artist whose primary medium is handwoven material. She is intrigued by fibers, yarns and fabrics and how they can be manipulated. She enjoys the process of weaving, but feels that the cloth produced isn't, nor should it be the end product.

The question she asks herself is,"how can I make this fabric look even better?" Searching for answers is the fun and creative part for Judy. To this end, she cuts up her hand woven fabrics and combines it with other textiles. She uses commercial fabrics as well as coordinating hand wovens. She may layer , embellish and/or distort her fabric to add a new dimension.

Since many of her pieces are wearable and functional, Judy works hard to make sure they are solidly constructed to withstand the stress of being used.
