Hana Ron
Hana Ron was born in Israel in 1951, mother to 4 and grandmother to 9 grandchildren. She worked for many years as an arts and crafts teacher in secondary school, and after a family tragedy, she completed her studies in Art Therapy and worked as a therapist at the Ministry of Education and in her private clinic until her retirement four years ago. Hana’s first encountered with patchwork and quilting was while studying with her teacher Eti David. Over the years she made a lot of quilts, usually using traditional techniques. Seven years ago, when Hana started studying with the late Ita Ziv the turnover happened, and most of her quilts today are modern and art quilts, with much respect to tradition.Read more...
In her art work Hana uses hand dyed as well as commercial fabrics. She is inspired by everything that surrounds her: the family, her home, the outside landscape as well as trips and journeys. All that is reflected in her works.This is Hana’s first exhibition in OEQC and it is dedicated to her husband David, who passed away half a year ago, and was the living spirit behind the creativity of Hana’s work.
Miri Gur
I was born in Aden in 1949; I made Aliya to Israel with my parents and brothers during the operation “Magic Carpet”, when I was just one month old. We were settled in the city of Holon, in a mixed neighborhood where the Yemenite culture was not dominant at all. My mother got sick when I was eight years old, and lost her ability to speak and my father was very old. So I had no source from where to absorb the stories and culture of Yemenite community. Since early age I was drawn to art. I always did different types of handcrafts like embroidery, sewing, and knitting.Read more...

This theme was an inspiration and question for many artists: How does light emerge out of a piece and how can colors help that effect? How do colors react with each other and how do they influence each other. This was my personal challenge; one in which I worked with textile materials to achieve. In some pieces I use hand-died fabrics, which are then colored with acrylic paint, and in others compositions are created with light, colorful, and sheer materials.
Gloria Loughman
I live close to the sea in a beautiful part of Victoria called Clifton Springs. Married with three daughters, I am a trained secondary teacher having worked mainly in the literacy and special education faculties. My initiation into the world of patchwork occurred approximately 30 years ago when I was recovering from a course of chemotherapy.Over the years, I have dabbled in many areas including strip piecing, bargello, colourwash, fabric dyeing and painting, and machine embroidery. After completing some studies in design and color as part of a Diploma of Art in 1996, I began to make my large vivid landscape quilts depicting the Australian bush. Read more...
As well as being in demand as a teacher, I have curated 13 exhibitions of Australian quilts to the United States and have had the privilege of judging at many major shows. I have had a number of solo exhibitions, including invitations to exhibit at the prestigious NEC Show in Birmingham, UK. My book, Luminous Landscapes, was released by C&T in January 2007 and is proving to be very popular. My second book, Quilted Symphony was released in 2010 and is one of C&T’s best sellers. My third book, Radiant Landscapes was released early in 2013. A fourth book, based on buildings and architecture, is due to be released mid 2017. I also have an on-line class featured on the Craftsy website.What began as a therapy has developed into a passion and has given me the opportunity to travel the world exhibiting my quilts, teaching classes and meeting lots of wonderful people.
Martine Apaolaza
My exhibition is a journey with several station stops. The simple evocation of the mythical neighbourhoods, the streets of Paris and old adverts (such as Chocolat Menier) lead to the appearance of building façades and vintage shops ; and funny embroidered scenes add life to the entire structure. The countryside is at the heart of my works, in particular the adaptions of the paintings (with his agreement) of my friend Denis Bauquier. I was born as city dweller but I live in the countryside and contemplate it in any season.Read more...
