Inspired by Moorish architecture, Navajo textiles, Byzantine mosaics, and the Baroque, Quisgard creates a world of her own through embroidered tapestries which transport the viewer to an exotic and engaging place. A painter for more than 60 years, Quisgard appreciates the patience that comes with working in fiber. Quisgard refers to her detailed work as “pseudo-pointillism,” that combines the discipline of creating painstaking patterns and heavily structured designs with bright, jewel-like colors and abstract ideas.
Liz Whitney Quisgard is a nationally renowned and award-winning artist who resides in New York City.
