Welcome
Inside The Studio Of Dottie Gantt |
Art
Quilts, Fiber Art, and Mixed Media Art

At
one end of my studio is a design wall, where I can hang works-in-progress. I
am able to temporarily pin the work right into the wall, audition
fabrics, and see which designs speak to me. I find that
for me it makes a big difference when designing wall hangings,
to view works-in-progress vertically.
If you look carefully you can see my treadmill next to my design wall. Running
on the treadmill helps me to relieve frustration when I'm stuck on a
design. The view outside the window, while running on the treadmill,
also helps!

This
is the sewing area of my studio. Sometimes the view of the
lake distracts me because it lures me outside, and sometimes the
view inspires me.

Organization of my studio is
always a challenge! ...and "no" my studio isn't always "this" clean!
|
When creating my fiber art & art
quilts, I "paint" with fabrics, threads, and embellishments. A
painter has oils, water colors, and acrylics - with a thousand colors to mix and choose
from. Here are some of my colors, my "fabric" paints. I
enjoy collecting fabrics from all over the world.

Painting on wall is by Peggy Hopper of Hawaii

This is my office
area. I
use my computer, printers, and office equipment to "take care of
business". Sometimes I also use my computer equipment to help design
my artwork. Once an engineer, always an engineer!
