Ann’s wide-ranging interests are suggested by her BA in literature from Stanford and her MA in geography from the University of Oregon. She attributes her artistic interests to an open mind and her desire to keep learning, independently and continuously. Her ongoing mastery of color and design is focused through her fabric dyeing and quiltmaking. Cultural geography and geology frequently inform her textile work. Ann has now been exploring techniques that work best with Procion MX dyes for about 50 years. Since she wrote Dye Painting! In 1992, she has taught hundreds of in-person workshops. Her students appreciate her openness and generosity. Ann’s books, videos, articles and lectures are resources for fiber artists around the world. The art quilts she produces have been seen and enjoyed in museums and other venues in the US and internationally for many years. and she continues to produce innovative and powerful work that fascinates her viewers and collectors.Visit her web site: https://annjohnston.net/ and Instagram @annjohnstonquilts.
