About the Art & the Artist
The art of quilling, or paper filigree, has existed since the 15th century as a favorite pastime for nuns and monks in monasteries. It has since experienced several resurgences with new styles and techniques, but the art’s original heart remains. Today, quilling is experiencing another resurgence, and many artists around the world have developed their own flair to make their creations unique. Kathy Peters has been quilling for nearly 20 years, displaying her art across the country and selling it worldwide. Her style has evolved over the years, incorporating her love of watercolor into her work. She has enjoyed a variety of arts and crafts over the years, but was strongly drawn to quilling, which has been her focus since. Kathy and her husband moved full-time to Southwest Florida in 2020 in the throes of the epidemic, so her showings here have been limited. She comes from the Utica area of Upstate New York, where she exhibited and taught classes across New York State, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Ohio.
