Master quilter Carolyn Mazloomi has another award to add to her laurels.

This month she was named a United States Artists Fellow, one of 60 artists nationwide to win a $50,000 cash prize. United States Artists is a Chicago-based arts funding organization. This year, in particular, judges were looking for art that would “inspire curiosity, empathy, and action toward building a more honest and just world,” said spokesman Robert Grand.

The quilts are awesome! By that I mean they fill me with awe. What a wonderful way to create as an artist! I would love to see her exhibit in person.

And to boot, she’s a former aerospace engineer! And a Fellow in the National Endowment for the arts! I am humbled.
