Meet The New Quilt Artist: Bronwyn Hill

Name of Artwork: Lyre Lyre

Bronwyn Hill has been quilting for more than 30 years, the past 15 years focussing on art quilts and experimentation in this field.

Having a background in dress making/clothes design the artist uses many varied and non-traditional quilting fabrics to create desired texture and colour. Bronwyn uses chiffon, netting, silk, linen, velvet and even glitter fabric to create her whimsical creations.

Working with raw edge applique, free motion thread painting and textile pencils the artist has the freedom to create what is in her mind into unique pieces of textile art.

Bronwyn draws inspiration from just about anywhere, nature, life experiences, travel and her imagination.
