Beth Wheeler and Lori Marquette
Beth Wheeler
Beth Wheeler has been a fiber artist for most of her life. She began embroidering by hand at age 5, crocheting at age 6, sewing garments for dolls and people at age 7, and quilting at age 16. Decades of study and exploration in design, color, and technique have led to the development of Threadography�, an art form that combines photography, computer artistry, and fiber techniques.
Wheeler�s art garments have traveled the globe in invitational and juried fashion shows. Her quilts and fiber art are in innumerable private collections across the country. She is the author of hundreds of articles for consumer and trade publications and her 45th book will be released in October 2007.
Lori Marquette
Lori Marquette is a freelance artist and certified massage therapist with a growing passion for art, photography, and graphic design combined with fabric, threads, and technology. She has worked with Beth, providing balance and marketing Beth�s designs for 16 years. During this time, Lori has renewed her childhood appreciation of quilting and crafting from the many hours spent watching her grandmother hand-quilt and embroider. She brings life-long passion of the healing arts, unique perspective, and a healthy sense of adventure to artistic creativity. This facilitates therapeutic persuasion in her technique and design.
Threadography is currently featured in galleries in Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, and New Mexico, as well as private collections across the country. Please visit the website to view a selection of Threadography and fabric postcards featuring this unique art technique.
