The New Quilt 2024 Preview: Brenda Gael Smith

 Forza Vitale: Breathe by Brenda Gael Smith is inspired by the ocean view at Copacabana and the news of a life-changing diagnosis.

Brenda creates textile paintings and sketches made from a rich palette of hand-dyed fabrics complemented by extensive, textural stitching demonstrating the transformative power of stitch. Abstraction is a persistent and insistent force. Working improvisationally, she captures the essence of her subjects to impart a sense of wonder of the natural world and a strong affinity to place.
