Artist Resume

Posted by ewquilts on April 19, 2018 in Artist Resume |


Erick Wolfmeyer roots his work in the conventions of traditional quilt-making while he expands the visual and conceptual boundaries of the medium with each new piece.  The work celebrates the excavation of the soul through the work of his hands.
