Pieced Impressions
Quilts by Karen Sengel
Nov. 1-27, 2016
Meet the Artist 5 pm on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016.
Pieced Impressions is a solo exhibition of quilts by Karen Sengel.
Karen has been sewing since she was very young. She started quilting about 15 years ago. She began with traditional bed quilts, then moved onto to art quilts, doing this exclusively for the past 10 years.
Karen tries to capture the images that have impressed her throughout her 25 years living and traveling in Asia. Many are iconic, some personal. Her quilts are traditionally pieced, then machine quilted in a free motion style which adds texture and interest.
Karen grew up in New York state but has spent most of her adult life overseas as an international school teacher, primarily in Asia. She now lives in Chiang Mai with her husband and their Thai cat named Gung.
Karen will be showing her work in the Neilson Hays Library Rotunda from November 1 through 27. She will be present at the exhibition on on Saturday, November 5 from 5 -7 pm.
