Kristin Tweed is an innovator in the art quilt movement.
Kristin Tweed’s Big Head Series of art quilt portraits explore and display character and emotion through representation of features delineated in thread and fleshed out with paint on a uniquely constructed soft canvas panel.
Kristin Tweed’s art quilts are similar in structure to traditional quilts. They are a contemporary extension of the quilt making tradition of layered and stitched fabric. The art quilt has made the great leap from bed to wall, from functional beauty to artistic expression.
Kristin Tweed’s Big Head Series of art quilts have been exhibited at the following art quilt shows: All Florida Artists Exhibition 2005; Art Quilts at the Sedgewick 2003; Craft Forms 2005; Fiberart International 2004; Quilts = Art = Quilts 2003, 2005; Quilt National 2003, 2007; and Quilt Visions 2004, 2006.
