Tonnie Wolfe - ArtWorks Teacher Profile
About Tonnie:
Although coming to art later in life, Tonnie Wolfe has always enjoyed creating. Encouraged
by her grandmother and aunt, she learned to sew in junior high. Sewing was a
creative outlet for many years. As her children grew up, she gradually moved
away from practical sewing to more imaginative applications of surface design,
free-motion and computerized machine embroidery. The journey to her current interests
occurred over several years. A sabbatical from her “day job” as a nurse allowed
Tonnie to explore the use of the computer as an art tool. Fellow artists in Edmonds
introduced her to acrylics and experimentation. She is currently investigating
the integration of digital painting, acrylics, metals and machine embroidery
into experimental mixed media and mixed media embroidery. |
