Debbie Grifka is an Ann Arbor, Michigan based textile artist. Having fallen in love with fabric as a child, she has expressed that love as a garment maker, a quilter, and now as a textile artist. By the example of her parents and stories told of extended family on the other side of the world, Debbie learned that she came from a long line of practical makers who sewed, knitted, or built the things they wanted and needed. That can-do attitude helped shape the sewist, quilter and artist she has become.Debbie's current series of art quilts continues her long-time interest in line with occasional detours to explore shape and text. She uses limited color palettes and natural fibers such as cotton and linen as well as both hand and machine stitching.Debbie's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and her work has been published in many books and magazines.
