Linda Kittmer





  For me, 
 art is the answer...
no matter what the question!
I began as a self taught traditional quilter in 1999.   Although I used some patterns, I quickly discovered that I preferred creating my own unique designs.   Being a prolific quilter, I quickly ran out of beds,  sofas and cribs to cover.   This was also the time when I discovered that the traditional quilt guild was no longer meeting my creative needs.  


In the spring of 2006 a friend and I started a fibre art group, ‘The Group of Eight Fibre Artists’ or GOE (rhymes with toe) as we refer to ourselves. In spite of the name, the group currently has ten members who meet monthly, encouraging and inspiring one another.  Our first group show was in January 2011 and we have  six shows and  a speaking engagement lined up for this year.
I now use much of my own  hand dyed fabric and I create unique pieces using various surface design techniques such as mono-printing, marbling, rust dyeing, etc.  



In addition to my fibre and mixed media art, in the last year or two I’ve had a growing passion for photography and art journalling.  I have a blog where I post about these three artistic passions.  For me, art is therapy and I make every effort to spend time in my studio each and every day.  For me, art is the answer...no matter what the question!
