Water Valley, MS
Coulter Fussell was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, an old textile town on the Chattahoochee River, the eastern border of Alabama. Coulter’s father was an arts museum curator throughout her childhood while her mother is a prolific quilter. Running through museum galleries after school and then going home to watch her mother sew was standard. The combination resulted an early-developed artsview of craft and other arts as indistinguishable from one another. Painting, sculpture and textile work became one entity in her mind; an unintentional mash-up.
Coulter relies on the no-holds barred nature of contemporary painting rules to free her compositions from the constraints of pattern. In turn, she simultaneously relies on the strict discipline of traditional craftwork to act as a self editing tool.
Coulter lives in Water Valley, a small town in the northern Hill Country of Mississippi. There she runs her store and studio, Yalorun Textiles.
