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 in 2018, moving her down an exciting new path. As a self-taught artist, her work is filled with naivety, dimension, whimsy, texture, and lots of thread. Rosanna Lynne has competed and been juried into local, regional, national, and international exhibits. Her work is in private collections and has been published in multiple books and catalogs. Her early works were exhibited at Quilt National, International Quilt Expo in Innsbruck Austria, and the Musée des Tissue in Lyon France. She is also a past recipient of a Utah Arts Council/NEA Individual Artist Grant. Currently, Rosanna Lynne is a member of 4 Common Corners, an invitational Southwest fiber arts group (4commoncorners.com), and Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA.com), a global organization, where she is a Juried Artist and where she served on the CO/UT/WY Regional Exhibition Committee. Locally, she served as Exhibitions Chair for the Utah Surface Design Group and just retired as their Treasurer. An Idaho native who has lived most of her life in Utah, Rosanna Lynne is currently focusing on her daily art practice at her in-home studio in West Valley, Utah where she lives with her husband, 2 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.
