With a graphic, color-saturated palette using her hand-printed fabric, Pat Pauly’s fiber art is seen around the world. Her textile work, which began in the early 1980s, and was first accepted in Quilt National ’83, and has continued to be seen in major exhibitions. Her fiber art’s distinction uses strong abstracted natural forms and complex color combinations. Her work is in both private and public collections.

With a degree in art, and graduate work in design and fine art, Pat chose fiber art as the perfect amalgam of construction, painting and printmaking. She has taught throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia, in design and surface design. Her lectures are fast paced, funny, and speak on the intersection of traditional quilt arts with contemporary fiber art. She brings the same pace and relaxed atmosphere to her workshops.

Often seen in exhibitions, Pat’s work is also widely published, and she has appeared in Quilting Arts televised segments. If not teaching, she is found in her studio in Rochester, New York where she has the best advantage of being surrounded by great artists as well as the beauty of the Finger Lakes.
