CRAFTSMEN SPOTLIGHT
 Wen Redmond
, juried in fiber, has been a League craftsman since 1990. She creates
abstract compositions using dyed, digital, and original designs on natural fabrics.
Her work merges digital processes, photography, collage, media mix and surface design.
Wen has just completed a draft for a book on Digital Processes with CT Publishing that is due out in December.
Says Wen, "
Making my art allows me to tap into levels of myself, becoming more aware, more conscious, and more grateful.
My art are my prayers."
