Suzanne Rogalsky - Art has been a lifetime journey for me. I began “crafting” as a child. I made whatever I could from anything I could find. My art path turned toward textiles when I was a young adult as I discovered that sewing my own clothes could be an excellent means of self-expression. I made my first quilt in my mid-twenties and that resulted in having three quilts in juried shows in Lancaster, PA., which was the heart of quilting at the time. Learning mixed media art was the next logical step as it combines fiber and paper arts together with lots of thread, gesso, paint and collage! I make quilts and other fabric items such as purses and ties from wedding dresses, and use thread and a sewing machine to “draw” on other people’s creations under my business name Sunny Stitches. I have been teaching my love of sewing, quilting, mixed media and journal making to others for over 20 years. I truly believe that everyone is creative and I hope to bring the freedom of expression and the gift of uniqueness out of every student.
