Known for her improvisational technique,
Pat Pauly uses bold color and unusual
juxtapositions of printed and painted fabric. Her workshops on contemporary art quilts
carry the same qualities as her work—energized, spontaneous,
and artistic. With a mastery of
diverse construction techniques, Pat Pauly uses textiles as
a medium of choice.
In addition to her work in textiles, her work as an exhibition designer
allows a breadth of experience in design. This exposure to work in exhibitions
with collections as different as
dinosaurs, to Impressionist paintings to Tiffany
glass, lead her to design as well as curate in 2004 "Quilts Uncovered:
Treasures from the Genesee Country Village & Museum". The exhibition
of 100 historical quilts soon refueled her work with contemporary textiles, and she has redefined her
textile art. Pat served as the guest curator and exhibition designer of the
State University of New York at Oswego College's exhibition in 2008 of the
invitational "A Personal Landscape".
She is a frequent consultant for designing and curating textile exhibitions.
