Color! Texture! Movement!

Art quilts by Ann Baldwin May are all about color, texture and movement. Her inspiration comes from the natural world as well as from Mexican and Native American Influences.  Motivation stems from how the materials play with one another. Her materials of choice are redirected fabrics from the San Francisco Design Center.

The artist’s portfolios includes abstracts, seascapes, landscapes and Mexican inspired fabric collages. Artist created fiber details, tucks or found objects  add texture. Flowing quilting lines and curved line piecing creates movement . Techniques include curved line piecing, free motion quilting, and fabric layering.
