Description

Carolyn Dahl's passions are dyed and painted textiles and manipulated/collaged paper. Beginning with ideas from her journals and poetry, she explores the possibilities of each medium. The resulting artworks have been shown in many museums (New Orleans Museum of Art, Mint Museum, Santa Fe Art Museum) and Art Centers (Chicago Textile Arts Center, Brookfield Craft Center, Arrowmont, American Museum of Art & Design, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft), in numerous commercial galleries, and in Holland and Italy. Magazines such as American Craft, World of Embroidery (England), The Flying Needle, Fiberarts, House Beautiful, Southwest Art, Houston Home & Garden, Surface Design Journal, Architecture Minnesota, Quilting Today, Better Homes & Gardens Quilting Ideas, and Miniature Quilts have featured her work.

Her dyed textiles appear in Fiberarts Design Books Three, Five, and Six , Photocrafts , and The Ribbon Project . Her colorful paper baskets and vessels can be seen in five books: Papermaking in Basketry (Lark Books), Basketry Roundup Vol. 1 and 2 (Press de la Plantz), the cover of Paper Sculpture (Davis Books), and The Guild 7 , in which Carolyn was named an American Crafts Award winner.

Carolyn has also been a featured guest on the Carol Duvall Show and Simply Quilts , both on Home & Garden Television, and Sew Creative on PBS. She is the author of Transforming Fabric. 30 Creative Ways to Paint, Dye, and Pattern Cloth (Krause Publications) and the nature printing book Natural Impressions. Taking an Artistic Path through Nature (Watson-Guptill Publications).
