Kari Greenberg, MFA…

grew up with one foot in Minnesota, the other in Canada, jumping on hay bales and picking wild berries.  Borders and boundaries, as well as the notion of “home” have been salient motifs during her artistic career.  She earned her MFA in Painting at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado.  She completed a BA in Studio Arts and Scandinavian Studies from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, during which period she spent time studying Nordic Art History at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden.  

In her current textile work, Greenberg blushingly admits her adoration for modernist/ formalist aesthetics.  Surface pattern and texture, in addition to color and line and play significant roles in her work.  Greenberg’s art quilts demonstrate a playful pursuit of whimsy and maximalism, while honoring traditional piecing methods and historic block patterns.
