Tidwell, Suzanne

Creating with Fiber has been a continuous thread for most of Suzanne Tidwell's life. She has worked in many mediums, both two and three-dimensional. She currently finds herself working with wool and mohair, creating fantasy environments by means of knit, crochet, and felting techniques. Dense vegetation and rebirth through decay are continuing themes in her work.

Residing at over two dozen addresses scattered throughout Ohio, Missouri, Texas and Sweden, Suzanne is pleased to call herself settled on Seattle's Eastside. In 1993, she graduated from the University of North Texas with a BA in Visual Art Studies. She has taught art to children and adults in schools, through art museum programs and privately. She credits her artistic revitalization to completing her certificate in Fiber Arts from the University of Washington in 2010. Her most recent installation "Winter Trees" is currently on display along 228th Avenue in Sammamish until March 18, 2011.

Knitting nature has become an obsession for me since I moved to the Pacific Northwest.  I am inspired by the dense vegetation that blossoms on nearly every surface around us.  My fantasy fiber environments are temptingly touchable versions of nature without all the dampness.  You can have a seat on this bench without actually getting your seat wet.
