Amy Ahlstrom is a modern quilter creating conceptual pop art from cotton and silk. She combines text and images to redefine the concept of what a quilt can be. Ahlstrom’s recent projects include a series of quilts based on comments made to her about her artwork in collaboration with conceptual needlepoint artist Margaret Timbrell, and her current work is a series of collaborative double portraits of women, depicting their view of themselves versus how they feel they are seen by others. Ahlstrom holds a Master of Fine Arts in Fiber from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has quilts in the permanent collections of Google, Capital One and the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. She is online at www.amyahlstrom.com and on Instagram @amy_ahlstrom.
