    Pat Kroth

    Originally a Chicago native, fiber artist, Pat Kroth resides in Verona, Wisconsin, just southwest of Madison with her husband and family. Her contemporary art quilts have been featured in many national and international exhibitions.


    Pat creates fragment collage quilts comprised of tiny bits of fiber, trapped threads and found objects.These additions sometimes include anything from candy wrappers, safety pins, and computer paper to toysand fortune cookie fortunes.In other abstract works the surface texture vibrates with high contrast, saturated,intense color. With hand-painting, dyeing, and other surface design techniques she transforms cloth, andpaints with thread. One body of work utilizes hand-dyed, then sun-printed fabrics, depicting images from nature: leaves, feathers, shells, and bones. Pat’s sun-printed silk scarves and shawls are created in the sameway, using real natural objects and light to cast shadows on the fabric.Her latest colorful series of improvisational art quilts are created while listening to Gypsy Swing music.
