Ann Brauer (American, born 1949)
"Autumnus", (2023) Detail. Textile/art quilt 30 x 60 inches

Ann Brauer has been making original quilts for 40 years. She utilizes color, fabric and tradition to create abstract landscapes of the imagination.

Artist statement: “Since I can remember, I have always loved working with color and fabric. I am a self-taught quilt maker who creates abstract landscapes by piecing and sewing thin strips of cotton fabric through the cotton batting onto the back. My work is in numerous museums, institutions and private collections including the American Museum of Art + Design, the Lodge at Turning Stone in Verona, NY, the Federal District Courthouse in Springfield, MA and Pat Metheny.
​
Each work is a unique expression of a time and place. I do all the work myself in my studio in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.”
