Autorenporträt
Since 1988, Frances Rogallo MacEachren has developed and taught classes in landscape and abstract design with, and on, fabric. She has a BA in Art (Painting) from Stanford University (1973), but put her art on hold until moving to Pennsylvania in 1985 where she joined a quilting group and began pursuing fabric art. Fran's quilts have been exhibited from coast to coast in the United States and Internationally. She has received many awards, including two presented at the Tactile Architecture Show held in Washington, D.C., as well as several awards over the 10-year span of Icarus international Art Exhibitions held in Nags Head, North Carolina preceding the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brother's first flight. As seen in this volume, Fran's images are often autobiographical. These include depictions of her personal experiences, and ones of places she has lived or traveled to. Many of her quilts are landscape images reflecting her love of the natural world. Fran's quilts are created using a variety of techniques, which she uses singly or in combination. The images are pieced, appliquéd, painted, stenciled, or drawn with thread on the surface fabrics of the quilt. After a filling layer and backing are added behind the image layer, the quilt is hand and/or machine quilted to add extra dimension to the surface image. She uses vibrant color and high contrast to give her work a bold graphic quality. These traits have become signatures of her style.
