Kelly Spell
Hixson, TN
Kelly Spell's award-winning quilts have been featured in numerous publications, shows, and museums around the world. Her abstract designs highlight dynamic color combinations that emphasize contrast in value and hue. Kelly works primarily with solid fabrics, and she enjoys using Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dyes to create her own hand-dyed palettes.
Kelly started quilting in 2014. Curves are a frequent motif in her work--she says they feel like old friends she returns to again and again. In 2020, she began exploring circles and swirls exclusively to distill ideas and define her point of view. Her artistic practice involves a variety of techniques--some are cutting edge and others are rooted in the time-honored tradition of American quiltmaking.
