Lynne

Rosanna Lynne Welter has roots in traditional quilting but quickly transitioned to textile art once she began exploring the exciting processes and techniques advancing the fiber arts movement. Just as she was emerging in the field, “life” put art on extended pause as she cared for elderly parents and earned a living. Eventually the long drought ended, the floodgates reopened, and her art began flowing again, moving her down an exciting new path of painting on fabric. As a self-taught artist, her work is filled with naivety, dimension, whimsy, texture, and lots of thread.

Rosanna has most recently competed and been accepted in local, regional, and national/international exhibits. Her work is in private collections and has been published in multiple books and catalogs. Earlier works were also exhibited nationally and internationally.

Currently, Rosanna is a member of 4 Common Corners, an invitational fiber arts group (4commoncorners.com), and Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) where she is a Juried Artist Member and served on the CO/UT/ WY Regional Exhibition Committee. Locally, she served as Exhibitions Chair for the Utah Surface Design Group and now serves as Treasurer. Rosanna, an Idaho native who has lived most of her life in Utah, is currently focusing on her daily art practice at her in-home studio in West Valley, Utah where she lives with her husband, 3 rescue dogs, and a rescue kitty.

Utah is such a beautiful place, and everything from the blue sky to the flora and fauna inspires me. I love translating my surroundings into fiber art.
