Barbara Danzi Fine Art Quilts

Barbara Danzi is a Brooklyn-born, Los Angeles–based textile artist whose colorful abstract quilts investigate the relationship between human-built systems and the natural environment. Working improvisationally, she hand-cuts solid-colored fabric with gestural movements and stitches the pieces together so that the seam lines function as organic, hand-drawn marks.
With an Engineering degree from Cornell University, Danzi brings a systems-based sensibility to her studio practice while embracing intuition and improvisation in the construction of each work. She has studied with master contemporary quilt artist Nancy Crow. Danzi’s quilts have been exhibited internationally across four continents and have received numerous awards, including Outstanding Abstract Design and Best in Show.
Danzi is a Juried Artist Member of SAQA and an active member of Textile Art Gallery NYC, Textile Study Group of NY, The Modern Quilt Guild, Surface Design Associates, and is a Certified Quilt Judge with NACQJ.
