Artist Statement

My name is Barbara Warden and I live in Lewes, Delaware. I have been a practicing artist for the past twenty-five years: as a painter, studio instructor, freelance photographer, and now fiber artist. My work emphasizes color and line; I paint with fabric and draw with thread. In the final stages of quilt construction, I use dense stitching and embroidery to produce a quilt that has the weight of tapestry.

There are many influences on my work and, right now, I am studying Anni Albers, Paul Klee, Edouard Vuillard, Eva Zeisel and Japanese fiber art.
