My name is Ann L. Scott, I’m a studio artist, teacher, and owner of Fiber Designs by Ann. I explore and produce fabric, mixed media and surface designs using fiber, thread, paint, dye, and more. I have been working & playing with fabric for over forty years and it continues to be what I’m most passionate about. After learning traditional quilt making early on, and winning awards for my hand work, I began to design, construct, and teach the contemporary art quilt, which led to painting my own fabrics. My artwork has been published, exhibited and is in private collections. I’m excited to discover and share more fabric and fiber creations.
I'm thrilled to share my newest course, How to Make a Mixed Media Art Card.
