About Sue Sherman Quilts
Sue Sherman, National and International Award-Winning Quilt Artist
My fabric creations connect me to the spectacular places and wildlife I have seen in my travels. I aim to give the animal kingdom a voice, by transforming white cotton into lifelike images through many hours of precise painting with dyes and thread. I am passionate about protecting earth’s creatures along with their habitats, and hope my work will inspire you to share my sense of urgency around this message.
My quilts have won awards at national and international quilt events including the (Canadian) National Juried Show, the International Quilt Festival (Houston), the Festival of Quilts (Birmingham), and the American Quilters Association (Paducah, Charleston). I am also a Juried Artist Member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA).
My textile art journey included experiments with many different techniques before settling on my current technique of painting with dyes.
