A
prize-winning quilter, Joyce R. Becker focuses her art, writing, teaching
and
lecturing on landscape quilts. " Drawing on my
life-long love of nature, my
prize-winning landscape quilts encompass a variety of surface design
techniques
imparting realism. While researching my book, Nature's Patterns,
published by
the Quilt Digest Press in 1996, I became enamored by landscape quilts and
my
creative journey began. I study nature as though I am looking through the
lens of
a camera, setting up possible landscape scenes in my mind for future reference.
My inspirations come from many sources including; photographs, greeting
cards,
photography books, calendars, and impressionistic artist, Claude Monet.
My art is accomplished using many techniques including
my original "cut and glue"
technique of raw edge machine appliqué, textile painting, stamping, sponging,
dyeing,
extensive machine embroidery and thread-work, three-dimensional bonding,
overlays of
tulle and polyester organza for shading and depth. Each landscape is
completed using
free-motion machine quilting that compliments the design and marries the
three-layers
together into a cohesive piece."
