Susan Damone Balch

Art Quilts inspired by a life-long passion for fly fishing, a meditative sport
that provides a powerful connection to the natural world and an abundance of wonderful imagery

Inspiration for my work comes from my passion for fly fishing. My palette is an extensive collection of fabrics including batik, hand painted, and hand dyed cottons. Pictorial pieces are created from full scale line drawings interpreted from a photograph or sketch. The designs are all original and are constructed using machine techiniques with occassional touches of hand work.
