Deborah Schwartzman
Deborah Schwartzman is a former elementary school teacher who was introduced to quilt making in 1975 at a workshop teaching patchwork to children. The geometry of quilt making and the inherent possibilities of intersecting lines appealed to her. Twenty- eight years later they still do.
Deborah Schwartzman has received recognition in nationally juried exhibitions, and her art quilts are installed in galleries, private collections and institutions, including The Crozier Cancer Center and Taylor Hospital in Delaware County, Pa. Her work is inspired by images found in nature, distinguished by saturated color, and enhanced by intricate machine and hand quilting.
Deborah also teaches and lectures throughout the tri-state area, and her articles on quilt design as well as images of her quilts have appeared in numerous publications. In 1999, she participated in planning a local festival to celebrate the "fabric of community" at the Sedgwick Cultural Center. Searching for a significant fiber art exhibition, the committee asked her to mount a quilt show. With the help of many dedicated friends and quilt artists, Art Quilts at the Sedgwick was born.
Deborah currently serves as co-director of AQatS and divides her time between creating art quilts, lecturing and continuing to develop this East Coast venue for quilt art.
