Erin Wilson makes quilts rooted in hand-dyed color, architectural imagery, and intricate piecework. A self-taught textile artist, she has developed a method of small-scale patchwork both precise and improvisational. She’s had solo exhibitions at the KOFU Showroom in NYC, Art Quilt Gallery NYC and International Quilt Week Yokohama in Japan and has been a regular exhibitor at fine craft shows such as The American Craft Council Show in Baltimore, Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, and the Smithsonian Craft Show. In addition to quiltmaking, Erin makes custom softgoods for interior designers, collaborates on theatrical puppet design/fabrication with Chris Green Kinetics, and, a lifetime ago, built a blue house in Brooklyn. Erin is also a dancer; she went to The Juilliard School and performed for many years before trading the stage for a sewing machine.

On pause from New York, currently based in Indiana.
