Beth Wheeler and Lori Maquette
Beth
Wheeler
Beth Wheeler has been a fiber artist for most of her life.
She began embroidering by hand at age 5, crocheting at
age 6, sewing garments for dolls and people at age 7,
and quilting at age 16. Decades of study and exploration
in design, color, and technique have led to the
development of Threadography™, an art form that combines
photography, computer artistry, and fiber techniques.
Wheeler’s art garments have traveled the globe in
invitational and juried fashion shows. Her quilts and
fiber art are in innumerable private collections across
the country. She is the author of hundreds of articles
for consumer and trade publications and her 45th book
will be released in October 2007.
Lori Marquette
Lori Marquette is a freelance artist and
certified massage therapist with a growing passion for art, photography,
and graphic design combined with fabric, threads, and technology. She
has worked with Beth, providing balance and marketing Beth’s designs for
16 years. During this time, Lori has renewed her childhood appreciation
of quilting and crafting from the many hours spent watching her
grandmother hand-quilt and embroider. She brings life-long passion of
the healing arts, unique perspective, and a healthy sense of adventure
to artistic creativity. This facilitates therapeutic persuasion in her
technique and design.
Threadography is currently featured in galleries in Colorado, Georgia,
Indiana, and New Mexico, as well as private collections across the
country. Please visit the website to view a selection of Threadography
and fabric postcards featuring this unique art technique.
