Ann Brauer displays a selection of her pieced and quilted wall hangings for a pair of collectors. Brauer’s work is in the permanent collection of the American Craft Museum. She received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Foundation for the Arts. Her studio was selected as an Editor’s Pick by Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England.
She says, “My quilts are about design, color and the nature of quilts. It seems everyone relates to quilts. We all know the feel of fabric and we are all amazed at the intensity of labor that goes into a traditional quilt. I am trying to recapture these memories while making pieces that are contemporary.”
Brauer was recently commissioned to create a series of wall quilts for the Art in Architecture program of the General Services Administration for the permanent art collection of the new federal court building in Springfield, MA.
