Loretta Painter is an award-winning quilter who started making traditional pieced quilts in 1991. She was first introduced to quilting while living in Paducah, Kentucky, in the early 1990s.
By 2004 she was making award winning quilts that were showing all over the country. Loretta is best known for using creative color combinations in her own uniquely designed quilts. As for her inspiration? “Sometimes it is a design that I have seen and sometimes it is a piece of fabric and the challenge of how best to use it.”
Get to know Loretta better:
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What's your favorite title of a piece you've named?
My favorite title is "All Tied Up" for a quilt that used origami bowtie quilt blocks.
If you could be any artist in the world, who would you choose to be?
Frank Loyd Wright. I love his use of form and pattern in his architectural works.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been?
I admire all types of architecture as we travel. Patterns can be found in tile, mosaics, iron work, stonework, and furniture that are useful in quilt designs and quilting motifs.
