Jackie Van Fossen

Jackie, a painter at heart, has been working in the fibre and design field for a number of years. She is a member of the Edmonton Needlecraft Guild and the Edmonton Weavers Guild to offset her specialty of quilting. Her passion is working with design and colour, especially colour application of fabric painting, shibori and other surface techniques. Her work has evolved into a collage of multi-media works including felting, embroidery, papermaking, quilting, weaving and surface embellishment. Jackie has studied with such well-known fibre artists as Nancy Crow, Yvonne Procella, Bill Morton, Pam Godderis and Mary Sustrik. Her work has been exhibited in a number of venues throughout Western Canada and she has won numerous awards.
