CV/Artist Statement

 Juanita Sauve Fibre Artist

Artist Statement      

 “For me, the joy of creating original art is in telling a story with fabric, thread and paint”

Since a friend asked Juanita to stitch a square for a woman’s strength quilt in 1996, she has been telling stories in stitch.  Her art quilts are primarily hand stitched reflecting her joy in exploring Canadian landscapes and in personal and political themes.  Her mounted and/or framed work often includes hand and/or  machine stitching, paint, needle felting and hand embroidery.   Juanita also creates tiny one of a kind landscape pendants and embroidered necklaces.
