Art Quilts of Carolyn Crump

Art Quilts of Carolyn Crump[1]
A fifth-generation quilter, who has also studied painting and graphic design, Carolyn Crump draws on a variety of media to create vivid, richly textured portraits and scenes. Block prints or linocuts, her figures are outlined in black against boldly colored backgrounds. Lively and dynamic, the black lines of each figure create a sense of movement that Crump echoes in images like flowing scarves, billowing ribbons, and flags etc.
