Collecting Life Mixed Media Textile Artist

My time is finally my own. I can just sit and play in the garden.

Autumn Summerfield - The Art of FIber

My art is a journey of self exploration ~
of self expression

I am a fiber artist,

a poet,

an explorer,

a wanderer, and

a dancer

Whether I am sewing, knitting, felting, painting or gardening I have found a quite, peaceful place of joy in which I am set free… and this is what I most hope to share with you about my art.

We all know what a quilt, a book or a scarf should be.
But consider… what they can be.

Fabric has finally come into its own as a medium for artistic self-expression. And the Art Quilt is at the center of this explosion in the Fiber Arts.

Fiber artists, me included, are looking beyond traditional patterns and techniques and are stepping outside the box to explore the convergence of fiber and art.

I invite you along on my discovery of Truth and Beauty
