Susan J. Lapham is a textile artist and teacher based in Virginia. She creates large-scale abstract quilts that emerge through a process of experimentation, editing, and response. A recovering statistician, she is fascinated by the relationship between structure and spontaneity, constraints and freedom. Her work has been exhibited widely in quilt and fine art venues, received numerous awards, and is included in private and museum collections. Through workshops, lectures, and mentoring, she helps artists develop confidence in their own voice and strengthen their compositional decision-making skills.
