  • Linda Colsh is an artist working in fiber: layered & stitched fabric and paper. Her imagery comes from European city streets and Maryland’s creeks, forest and fields. Often worked in a minimal palette, each art quilt begins with blank cloth that she alters with dye, printing, ink, collage and paint.
