Taking Quilts from the Bed to the Wall:

Merging the Traditional with the Contemporary

Discover the colorful and imaginative world of Santa Cruz artist Nana Montgomery and her evolution from traditional quilt maker to contemporary mixed-media artist.

For more than 50 years, Nana has explored the possibilities of quilting, combining fabric, paint, beads, and other materials to create original works of art designed for the wall. Her quilts have been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally, and her work has even been featured on HGTV’s Simply Quilts. Join us for an inspiring look at Nana’s artistic journey and the creativity, curiosity, and delight that continue to shape her work.
