Artist Information for Marjan Kluepfel
I am an artist who uses fabric and thread as my medium instead of paper and paint....and a sewing machine instead of a brush. Most of my designs are organic. They are influenced by my love of nature and all its wonders. I like to work with color and movement in my pieces. The bright colors I use express my positive outlook on life. The texture of the fabrics is an important design element to me and in my work I use many different surface design techniques such as fabric dyeing, painting, printing, pleating and machine quilting and embroidery. My desire has always been to create unique pieces and have lots of fun during the process.

As a result my "forest fancy" too often turns into a "forest fire". Forest Fancy37" x 25"   I fancy forests to always look like this.... California Poppies29" x 50"   These poppies are the California state flower. Their bright colors are such a happy sight. No Maintenance Aquarium 28" x 52"   Looking at the underwater world is very soothing and relaxing. My husband spends hours cleaning his aquarium. Mine is maintenance free! Blue Trees Triptych 27" x 94"   I love to create tree and forest scenes. These three quilts depict the same forest landscape in different seasons: Spring, Winter and Fall. |
