Experience the colorful textile collages of Bobbi Baugh, whose award-winning art quilts combine printmaking, painting, photography, and stitchwork to create symbolic narrative compositions.
Bobbi Baugh creates textile collage artworks for the exploration of dreams and memories, as well as for storytelling. Her meaningful art pieces combine methods of hand printmaking, direct painting, original photographic transfers, collage construction, and machine stitching for presentation as art quilts. She believes this mixed-media method is the perfect vehicle for the explorations that interest her, as textures and rich colors become the vocabulary for digging into stories.
Baugh is a graduate of Stetson University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Speech Communication in 1976 and a Master of Arts in Teaching in Humanities/Education in 1979. As an undergraduate art major, Bobbi focused on watercolor. A thirty-year career in commercial printing and stationery design preceded her full-time studio practice. She has focused on textile art and collage since 2010. She has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, Colorado (2015) and at Arts on Douglas Fine Art Gallery, New Smyrna Beach, Florida (2016, 2018.)
She is a juried artist member of SAQA, Studio Art Quilt Associates, and her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions, including: “America Is” at Touchstone Gallery in Washington, D.C. (2019), “Perspectives” at LeMoyne Arts in Tallahassee, Florida (2019), Hilton Head Biennale (2019), National Juried Exhibition at The Delaplaine in Frederick, Maryland (2019), “Fantastic Fibers” at Yeiser Art Center in Paducah, Kentucky (2019), “See My Voice – QSDS” at the Ross Art Museum, Delaware, Ohio (2018), “Women’s Works” at the Old Courthouse Arts Center in Woodstock, Illinois (2018), “Immigration Stories” at the GWU National Textile Museum in Washington, DC (2016), and Florida CraftArt Gallery (2016, 2017). Her work has been included in three traveling SAQA exhibitions: “Balancing Act” (2015-2016), “Piecing Together a Changing Planet” (2014-2016) and “Redirecting the Ordinary” (2014-2016.) Bobbi has participated in numerous juried outdoor art festivals in Florida since 2011.
Baugh has developed a vocabulary of images that are entry points into narratives of home, personal journey, and the way they intersect in memory. Viewers will find windows, child-like images of homes, unexpected elements (such as trees and water) within the homes, and a repeating character of a young girl. She invites viewers to enter the quilts and the memories and dreams they inhabit.
