Supporting Artists

Painted and Stitched Landscape

I see amazing art every day, and I wish I could buy every piece that I love but, of course that’s not possible. Every once in a while, though, I do treat myself to a special piece. For a long time I have been drooling over these small, gorgeous, mixed media landscapes, by artist Doria Anne Goocher.

Doria was kind enough to host a SAQA meeting in her home recently, where I finally decided to purchase some of her art. The piece contains a variety of beautiful fabrics and papers as well as quilting stitches. It is mounted in a perfect mat and frame. After the meeting Doria reminder me that about 15 years ago (maybe longer) she took my miniature landscape art quilt class! Sadly, I can not take any credit for her talent.

To learn more about Doria and her art I hope you will visit her website Designs by Doria When you see artwork that speaks to you, I hope you’ll buy it and feel great for supporting an artist.

I started sewing and designing using fabric, thread, and paper when I was a child. I taught myself to make quilts, at first not following the "rules," then watched some experts, learned the rules, and made many hand quilted and appliqued quilts. I spent years focusing on miniature landscape quilts. Now I am a fiber and mixed media artist and that encompasses everything I have a passion for. I have taught, lectured, and my work have show nationally and internationally, some pieces have been published.
