QUILT BIO
My educational background is in sociology and mental health; however as a teen, during the weekends , I took classes at a local arts center. During 2012, I started learning mixed media art by watching YouTube and completing classes at Craftsy. Currently I enjoy creating mixed media fine art by using fabric, canvas and/or paper as substrata. I equally enjoy designing and sewing quilts. I have always admired the works of other artists and I have grown to enjoy my autistic process and work,

FROM A READER
I remember seeing the submarine Turtle, which was displayed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard when that was still a military facility. As for Revolutionary history, my cousin, Art Cohn, founder and emeritus executive director of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, is writing a book about Benedict Arnold and his role in the history of the time. Stay tuned. Matt Katz
