More about the artist:

Anna Johannsen is a self-taught quilter and fiber artist.  Since her retirement from teaching Art and Home Economics at the Alternative Learning Center in 2015, she has more time to experiment with fibers, techniques, colors and textures.  She loves to hand dye cloth for her creations allowing the fabric to tell the story.  She also continues to create 3-D quilts and will have available the 3-D glasses to view her work.

Be brave!  Expand your experience by asking yourself, “What if….?”  Make art an adventure by trying something different.                                                                  Anna Johannsen, 2023
