Katy Korkos is a New Mexico fiber artist with roots in drawing, painting, collage, and quilting. Her studio is filled with paper and cloth, thread, glue, buttons, beads, and brushes. Languages, maps and books;  rocks, trees, and birds are the themes that inspire her. Katy’s process is that of layering, emphasizing one thing as it is brought to the front, pushing another element to the back or hiding it altogether, composing, cropping, and finally integrating the surface. And texture, be it nubby or satiny, lace or paint is the ultimate goal of each piece.

In her 30 plus years of making fiber art, she has made handmade paper and artist’s books, made hundreds of quilts and collaged fiber wall pieces,  embroidered,  macraméd, spun and woven, dyed many yards of fabric,  knitted, felted, sewn and                    

                                       drawn with fiber, and she is

                                       still drawn to fiber as her              

                                        medium of expression.
