Michele Lasker

Unique experiences have created a fascinating world of color and design for me as I implement my impressions through the medium of fiber. Walking by a brightly colored produce market next to the Rialto Bridge in Venice, or gazing at a packed flower stand in Nice near the Mediterranean Sea; everything that I see excites me. Once a volunteer in an inner city evening arts program in Boston, an Artist in the Public Schools teaching Color and Design in Tulsa, or a Gifted and Talented teacher focusing on Arts Education and Asia, art has always been part of my existence. Now as a member of 108 Contemporary, Fiber Artists of Oklahoma, Studio Art Quilt Associates, Surface Design Association, Front Range Contemporary Quilters, and the Embroiderers’ Guild I am seeking unique ways to integrate color, pattern, and design through fiber.
